All you good creative people out there show us your work so we can be inspired and celebrate you imagination. Woodworking of any kind encouraged.

[detritus21]

That is well impressive and I imagine there would be a good market for that kind of thing as a commercial enterprise. There was me impressed that I made my first toad stool last week.

dont knock it detritus, toadstools are a good start for you, teaches you a lot about handling the saw in unusual positions. Be aware that when carving you can be using the kickback zone of the bar, so be careful. I've earned some good money out of toadstools in the past, unfortunately my first attempt at a bear, well it looked like the results of an unfortunate mismarriage between scooby-doo and yogi bear!! wish I had more spare time to practise!

roger....i will post a pic of my bear when i take a photo...nowhere near your standards though i must say!!

[Dean Lofthouse]

Do you treat them with anything after they have been carved?

[Arborist]

Your work is fantastic!

 

Wish I could do something like that!

Really like that Roger, what sort of sander do you use?

Here's a pic of a pinecone that I did for the NTS.

Have to say you put me to shame though, I would love to do something more abstract. Do you only work to commision or do you just make stuff and try to sell it?

I have sold a lot of timber to David Nash over the years, He's probably the most famous wood sculptor I know.

 

Just sold a truck to this guy, I really like his work...

He obviously doesn't think much of his own work if he's prepared to burn it !
