Looks fantastic, scary, but great.

I'd hate to be the one sharpening the tools after that effort. Decent sized blanks would be a bit few and far between too :roll:

From the taper on that log, I would've thought the headstock end would've been more lobed/out-of-balance than the tailstock...?
Looks odd to me to see them starting from the "easy" end! ;)

Looks odd to me to see them starting from the "easy" end! ;)The head stock end is getting carved by the sculptor who commissioned it! So we only get the "easy" end to do! :D

I would love to have got rid of it but we have to do as we are told sometimes.:D

To the Forum members that were here on Saturday.
The log finally kicked over without an initial start at 4.01 this afternoon.
Tools are streaming water, jackets soaked and helmet needs a windscreen wiper.:D
