Here I’ve added a ‘Buffalo Nickel’ for scale

Here’s a nice in progress shot of the herd, close up. Each bison is about 3/32″ tall and just over 1/8″ long

Another in progress shot of the herd kicking up dust! It’s harder than you would think, to photograph a carving this small

A top down view of the herd. There are 50 bisons running across the carpenter’s pencil!
