Hi David, thanks:001_smile:

I've a few mora knives,not sure what make the carving knife is that I used for these. I would check for you but I seem to have misplaced it:mad1: blades long & thin about 4"

Done with a combination of whittling and carving with small set of palms.

Here's a couple more.

Most were done in pear, the owl was in holly btw.

On average critters are a touch over an inch. Last two birds were about 2 inch including posts.

I bought my last carving knife from this place,

knives are Frosts of Sweden

 

Wilderness 1-2-1*::*Cutting Tools & Sharpening*::*Carving Knives

 

Carving knives going for £10.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think they normally sell for £25 plus.

Currently unavailable but may re-stock if they get some potential orders.

The knife I used on the pendants was probably the Carving Knife - Frosts 120 or something similar.

Will try and get some pics up tomorrow:thumbup1:

Here's the palm chisels used on the pendants. They're Ramelsons, a budget range but handy non the less.

The knife is same as the one I roughed them out with, it's a Mora 106.

Other than that a handful of carving chisels, gouges will make life easier.

Thank the gods!!!!!!!

After a mammoth 3 day search/sift and tidy as I go I finally found my trusty knife.(exactly where I first looked 3 days ago:001_rolleyes:).

At least the garage and shed look a bit tidier now:001_smile:
