......some of us carve.....

INTERMISSON

Take a break from the high pressure world of running a forum, grab a cuppa tea or a cold beer and have a look at some of my stuff.....


Relax......


Are you sitting comfortably?


Fantasy Dragon chairs, slotted.



Fire-dance.....



Off cuts make handy business card holders....




Redwood Squirrel....and his nut.





Let the grain take the strain, growth rings can be followed as a shaping aid, feather detail is created by burning heavy and sand blasting to lift the grain and give the timber a driftwood, stressed timber effect.



Plastic 16mm eyes from Grube, Germany.

These pix were taken this morning at the Country Park where Ime based and later this afternoon at my mate Pete's nice warm workshop. Toasty warm!

OK!!!

Back to the mayhem!

Cindy for President!!!!! and not just the U.S. of A!!!!!

Youv'e been torturing animals again haven't you Richard . Burning and blasting them .
The backs of those Owls are primo I MUST say .
A warm shop to die for . I'm in two feet of twenty below snow , carvings buried half completed , a wintry mess .

Dragon chairs have joy in them , they Oak ? Speaking of Oak where are you getting those five by fives ? NICE lumber .

Did you mention a kur'fuffle ? Where ?

bring tea !

Couldn't agree with you more Dick, Onwards and upwards I say. I'm grabbing a cuppa and heading out to the carving pit for some much needed r & r and time with some round logs just waiting to be carved.

Love your slotted chairs with the relief work.

Things are a little tense now and your break is a wonderful idea.
Thanks for the relief.
