Springer

[TommyTreecarver]

This is my first carving since the Stirling tree, been trying to rest my tennis elbows.

Its supposed to be an English Springer Spaniel.

Saw finished

A bit of grinding and chisel

Cheers, Tommy

Nice one.

[bob]

oh i wish i had a dog like that

it must be hard to do something that actually resembles something rather than a subject that is up for interpretation

what about doing portraits that could be interesting

[old snake]

Awesome as always mate

[Stephen Blair]

thats the first time i have seen a springer sit still mate, nice one. could you do me a border mate if i sent you a pic.

[Dean Lofthouse]

I wish you were closer tommy, would be interested in buying that at the right price.

[TommyTreecarver]

Thanks,

Portraits would be the hardest thing to carve, its hard enough doing a face never mind getting it to look like someone.

Heres a pic of a face I used for my Fairy, similar but not identical!

 

 

I carved the dog for someone but they only wanted a 2ft one, so I have to do another, this one is sold now.

I think Dogs are good seller's but I think you do get the fussy customers to go with it, like my dog has longer hair or his ears are to short! carve it again!

 

Email me some pics Shrek, and I will have see what I can do.

Cheers Tommy

top piece of work, tommy!

 

I think chainsaw carving is a very underrated art form. People dont realise how skillfull it is to carve a subject, let alone with a chainsaw. Had a mess about once and its much harder than it looks

 

Dissmantling a tree next week in a school yard. Were leaving some of the main stem standing as they've commisioned a carver to create a piece for the school........cant wait to see how this turns out will hopefully post pics when its done.

the springer looks great ,and the fairy,i reckon human faces are the hardest to carve
