One Wrong Move!

After my "pig ugly" last commission I got this one which is bit more elegant but still a little sinister :-)

Its all chainsaw and is from a lovely piece of Beech

Stunning work indeed!

brilliant,,,

[harvey b davison]

brilliant, how the hell did you learn how to do that type of stuff ?

[woodsculptor]

Thanks,

Its all self taught really, figuring stuff out for myself. I watched some of the top carvers at the last APF which helped a lot from a technical point of view. Just watching them helped fill in some of the gaps and since then I've just dropped in to all the forums etc to keep learning again by observing and figuring it out.

Great work - how long do you think one of those takes you?

[woodsculptor]

Thanks Rob

 

That one took around 15 hours to complete, most of the things on it I'd never carved before so I go a bit slower. Once I've done something a few times I tend to develop a technique which speeds things up a bit. I try to carve new and interesting things on each commission though so I very rarely get super quick.

Had a look at your website by the way - very well set out and particularly liked the inclusion of videos showing you carving

[woodsculptor]

Thanks for the feedback Rob, the vids are quite old. Keep meaning to do one of a full carving but only remember when I'm half way through stuff. The excitement of starting something new takes over :-)
