Still have a little sanding but basically done.

Nice,  question - are you making the plate itself in addition to the carving, or are you attaching the carving to an existing plate?

Nicely done - the detail is quite intricate.  Thanks for sharing with us.  Keep a light on.

Is this a resin pour into a rubber mold made from your carving? I'd like to hear about that process if you're willing.

TY all for the comments. I do cut out the plates, drill, counter sink and use the scroll saw to cut out the toggle area. Today I started the rubber process. I use a two part RTV rubber with a mixture of Vaseline 3 parts to 1 part kerosene as a release agent. These I'm going to try ultracal as I did a petroglyph one for our entry and really like the effect.
