I'm not completely done with this yet, but couldn't wait to show it off. Really, I think all I need to do is a little finish sanding and another light coat of urethane, and put some kind of mounting system on it. The images are 3d relief carved into the wood, which is African Mahogany, then glazed to make them "pop". I bought a nice sized lot of split antler tips, and drilled them, and attached to the wood with thread-all and nuts recessed into the back of the board. I'm working on another one too, that has a scene with a hunting dog chasing up some game birds, but it'll take a couple more days before it's ready for display. The machine takes about 3-4 hours to carve something of this size. Oh yeah, the total board is 24" wide and 8" tall, the carving is 22"x3".
