Fascinating detail. What equipment do you need (along with probably a lot of skill) to create those?

Hey up, equipment list was something like:

50cc saw std bar block out.

30-40cc small saw ms181& 12" dime tip cannon carver bar.

Stihl 200battery saw with r7 suigi bar.

Dremel with small sabuur tooth bits.

Sand o flex flap sander .

And a cheap beginners chisel set from Axminster tools which was surprisingly good👍, cheers Lee.

Nice. Carving must be good once you’ve really got your teeth into it! And without giving away all the secrets, do you work out dimensions or sketch it out first, I,e... how do you go from concept to carved product?

It must take some doing [emoji106]

Hey up, no real secret I just draw with chalk or forestry crayons a rough idea of what I hope! It to be haha, then block out with 50cc saw ,then it's back out with the crayons and study some pictures then draw again then knock them cuts out with the carving saws, basically just rinse repeat and work down to the die grinders or Dremel level. Then if its loads of detail your after do a final sand with sandoflex or mop ,then detail the detail and eventually the ordeal is over haha, cheers Lee.
