Woodcarving Projects

[woodpeckers]

On a separate thread a few have asked for people to share woodcarvings. Have started this thread and shared my latest one.

Nice piece.
I'm always in awe of woodcarvers. It's an aspect of the craft wich remains a dark art to me.

Love it!

Yep ok, that beats my knitting..................... very cool, but not as cool as my little pony collection

I can't draw to save my life so I know wood carving would be beyond me.
My attempts would end up looking like Chris's ( @Bm101 ) lump of rock after he had hacked away at it ( Sorry Chris)

I can't draw for toffee either. I just start and see what comes out!

Garno if you are going to slander me in public you animal, at least post the link so Woodpeckers can have a proper laugh at my carving attempts.
Now I have Mastered Woodwork I am moving on losers.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

That panel is good. It shows long term determination, something I lack. Well done.

I just have and got new super-reader lenses and have to say I'm impressed. I can now see the computer screen and read a book at the same time, no longer must I have 3 pairs of glasses just to interact with my livingroom

Not your carving, if you thought that's what I meant.

I have a box full of part finished carving some going back years, and have been intermittently progressing a couple of them recently, finally managed to get one to the stage where I've decided I've done enough, something I find difficult as I can always seen a bit more I want to refine, anyway this old timer has had one coat of wax which will be re-applied a number of times to get an acceptable finish and that's it, maybe a little 0000 wire wool to finess it a bit. My original intention was a smooth finish but I quite like the tooled look as it is

.

Material is boxwood, pipe was carved separately and he stands around 230mm (9") high.
