That is some shield . A very nice interpretation of the original. There's no space left to carve.
What are the dimensions?
Thanks for sharing.

You already know how I feel about this one, Bathala!

Never seen an original, but yours is a very nice piece of art. It looks quite solid too so I guess it can make for a very functional shield as well.
Congratulations for your masterpiece!

PS: I don't think is an "attempt" but a certain success!

It's a commission shield for a datu decent, and the diameter itself is majestic at 33". Weigh at a whopping 15 lbs. Made for a strong man indeed. Had difficulty finding a tree with that girth. Plus the project took a month, hand carved without power tools!
