I got all the carving completed this afternoon,  just got to soften it and clean it up with some fine grit.

Lol ;D, ..I'm having a little break from it tonight and please with how it's turning out, I'll give it a sand over tomorrow evening and try and get some stain on. It's quick drying the stain I'm using so hopefully first coat of Danish oil too. Two coats on for protection for when I work on the over side which I am now looking forward to starting, happy to say  :)

All done now, done and dusted  :). I've put on a couple of coats of Danish oil just for protection , looks a little dull and needs another 2 coats for a nice sheen but I'll put them on when I have got the other side carved out. I must say I like how the grain of the oak has come through with the oil.(The stain should subtle down some more when the oak darkens with sun etc.)
