Work in Progress

Hi guys,

 

I've had enough of mushrooms for now so thought I'd have a go at my first "proper" carvings.

 

The Moai head is carved from western red cedar and I'm waiting for it to dry out a bit before sanding. The seahorse is pine and I've got a bit of touching up to do with the 192 then I can sand it and then see what other finishing I want to do.

 

Just thought you might like to have a look go easy on me

PS - just mentioning that the lines on the seahorse are charcoal markings in case it looks like I've gone a bit mental with the saw

I did a similar piece about 5 years ago, we call him 'Easter Island Man' , this is the only photo I can find of him (in the background). He was a piece of driftwood so I've never known what the timber is.

The Scout Fleur-de-Lys was a Christmas present for my Father in law (ex Venture Scout Leader).

The treble clef was for my Mother in law, she sings a bit. These are both Leylandii.
