It looks like ebony to me; I've turned some ebony, the end of it looked very similar to the bottom end of the carving.

Great subjects, well done! :2tsup:

Fixed :), See above!

Ahh, no, I didn’t :doh: .
I’ll think about it….

Lovely carving 👍

Yes, on my bucket list as well👍

Wow, it looks amazing, can’t wait to see the final carving. Following!

Hi, I’m with the Sydney Woodcarving Group and we can always use some extra tools for new starters to use at our carving meetings. Can you give me an estimate for the postage cost?

hoi Idefix, heel mooi IDD, van wat voor hout heb je het gemaakt?
Very beautiful indeed, what kind of wood did you make if from?

‎hi Idefix, very nice IDD, from what kind of wood...

Nice, a chainsaw carving! Watching this one :)

A beautiful board with a lovely, well executed carving detail. Well done!

I guess the wheels are now dynamically balanced with the weights added ����

Your best bet would be to give Trend Timbers at Mulgrave (trendtimbers.com.au) a call to see if they're open. They stock a good selection of carving blanks, including jelutong, white beech,...

Who would have thought that it started off as a chainsaw carving, wow! Love it.
The stand suits it really well, too, great design choice.

Hi Clinton1, How are the dishes coming along?

Hi John, I know this is an old post, but I have been away for a while and live in Sydney anyway, just now catching up with the woodcarving posts on this forum. My question is How did you go, as it...

Hi Alan, I agree with the previous three comments. Although I haven't heard of jelutong being banned in Oz; maybe that's because there's still plenty around at the wood specialists. You may be...

Wow, bravo, excellent work :2tsup::clap::brava:clap2:

Nice.

Hi all, I'm exited to announce that we have uploaded a completely new website for the Sydney Woodcarving Group! The site now offers Members Galleries with clickable thumbnails to show large size...

Firstly, welcome to Oz 😀

I agree with others, to meet one or both of the carvers mentioned and get their opinions, or attend a local woodcarving group meeting, that would be very helpful and make...

Arron, the brands of carving tools you mentioned are all reputable, excellent makes and use quality steel to make these.

Your final comment "I also suspect that the reason the older ones appear...

Hi Phil, looks great, well executed. What only a broken wing...you did very well :D ! To minimise perspect distorsion, the best approach would be to increase the distance between the subject and the...

Beautifully executed and the presentation is stunning; nicest piece of Blackwood I've seen for a long time. Cheers, Peter

Well.... I don't know....:o
ziopatrizop's woodcarving technique is pretty scary, lucky he still has all his fingers.

Hi Chuck1, welcome to carving. Marples chisels and gouges are good tools for carving (the flat chisels are mainly used for letter carving), I bought a set on-line and they compare well to my Stubais...

Looks a winner to me.
Cheers, Peter

Hi Coxy, looks like you're on the right track. I have also used plasticene for making a model to sort out the 3D issues of a new project, before starting to carve. In winter the plasticene stays a...

Looks good for a first abstract!

A lovely couple!
Cheers, Peter

The sidecar mounting point under the seat should be the ideal lateral support point. I had a sidecar attached to my Chief at that location, it was solid as a rock!

By the by, the 'Four' you built...

Good call Philip. I agree wholeheartedly. Making pronounced figuring work in a bust rarely works out satisfactorily.

Looking great Trev. Pretty well identical in my book!
I was surprised to see the bare generator belt driven off the Splitdorf magneto driveshaft. I have several photos of '29 Fours with and...

No worries Trev.

I would not get too hung up about year specific detail, so a roughly '29 look would be good. :2tsup:

As you know, the next major changes to the Indian line up were...
