    Default First go at carving

    My 8 year old grandaughter has a thing about dolphins, so downloaded some inmages from the internet and started chipping away at an old Redgum post. Then SWMBO said she would like a larger version about 250 mm high. Think i am hooked on carving now!

    Hi,

    I noticed now that there was this subforum for woodcarving after I posted some pictures of my first woodcarving on the woodwork pics subforum. Maybe it should be moved here but for now here is the link to the post with pictures http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ad.php?t=51812

    1- lam 2 bits of 4 inch cedar

    next bit
    loosely assembled, and lying on what will be a silky oak pillow
    at the moment I'm trying to carve the negative shape of the
    piece so that it fits snug in the pillow (a bit tricky)
    can you make out what it is?
    It's a twisted naked violin girl , of course.
    post a pic when it's done
    cheers underfoot

    Default Remember that little hat??


    Well, here's the bloke that owns it. Ol' 'arry is a bit of a loner so got himself a job as a Jackaroo on a station 'round 30 miles northeast of the Black Stump <grin>.......................

    Actually, he measure 3 inches from the ground to the top of his hat,and is carved from jelutong. His saddle is carved from a single piece of brown tulip oak as is his frying pan and swag/bedroll. His horse is carved from baltic pine, and the axe is aluminium with a jarrah handle......reins and bridle are made with leather, some fusewire and a couple of small rings from an old cheap necklace.....the fire is charcoal and wood over cheap red glass beads and imitation rubiesfrom junky earings....the lot piled on a tiny round mirror from a parrakeets' toy to aid in reflecting light to give the "hot coals" effect

    Default Snapper

    I finally finished a cabinet for a friend and had a chance to play with the snapper.

    The Queensland maple has great figure for the snapper.

    It was good to work with chisels, arbortec and the new Makita die grinder.
    It sander to a very smooth finish.

    I have just put on one coat of Cabots Danish oil.
    Wipe on - wipe off.
    The figure popped nicely.
