Turned out very nice.
next time you do an animal try putting a dot of white on the eye. That will really make it come "alive".

That's a beauty! 
Regarding Brian's tip about the eye..... I agree with him and easiest way i have found is to use a white cocktail stick (drill a tiny hole in the eye and glue a piece in or any other white wood) it makes eyes "Pop"  you can also use white paint with a tiny bit on the end of the cocktail stick touch the eye very lightly.
Love the colouring of your woods and I'm sure your friends wife will love it!
Cheers
Brian
