Couple of pressies for my mum Ahhhh

[Chris P]

My mum wanted a mushroom for the garden, so i'm giving her a funky face one and a piece that i copied from a carver at the APF if any one knows who it was that did the ball in the square let me know. His piece looked awsome.

 

I'm sure my mum will be pleased, who knows she might just stick them on the fridge.

[johnty]

Mate they a great, i'd love to have the skill to be able to produce work like that.

Nice one:thumbup1:

[Chris P]

Thanks guys. I suppose they took a couple of hours a piece.

 

Trying to get that ball into a perfect sphere is tough going. A bit more practice needeed me thinks.

 

My mum was pleased as punch.

Nice work, keep it up.

The carver that speed carves the ball in the box in 30 minutes is a woman called Nansi Hemmings from Wales.

She's class

here she is at the Wales woodfest 07

I didn'nt want to take the credit for the idea.

You say she carves it in 30 mins! Thats amazing, it took me a lot longer.
