Take that first photo tomorrow afternoon Dave and that eucalyptus isn't going to be there !!

say what now?

[dervishcarving]

Oh, i see it now. You clearing that tree? Wish i had known, could have given yo a hand. w as off work today doing some tree clearing up Touks-way. Mainly clearing wind-blown trees, soft and hard-wood. Dropped a couple as well just to clear the space. A fun day.

Sorry Dave the post was a bit gobblydigook . Realised last night that the tree in your first picture was the one i was doing today . The gardener said there was a carving guy that did a Gruffalo recently in the yard ! small world

 

Was blowin a real hoolie this morning and tied in to an included bark union , could have done with you mate . On a side note , are you doing the big dead lump thats standing in the yard ?

 

 

 

 

And one for Wooded

Thats ok, usually i am fluent in gobbledeygoop, maybe my babelfish was on the blink

Nice work on the Euc, i hate cutting those things when they are green, just feels 'slimy'. You got my number yes? on the card? next time, gimmie a txt and if i can be there i will. Usually I am in Dundee during the week-days but i am allowed days off (not that i ever get round to taking them).

Its a shame he didnt get you to leave a decent stump! Given that they put up with me carving in the yard next-door i would have done them a quick carve for free! Never mind, their loss i guess

 

Yep, the standing-wood in the yard is my next project, as soon as i get a chance to start on it. They want a soaring bird (buzzard or sea eagle are our two local 'raptors') to go up at the top of a park, should be a nice challenge. Is a lovely piece of oak at least. I would have started it yesterday but i ended up doing a day of wind-blown clearing with another mate round stonehaven. Might not be for a few weeks now.

You heading up to Carve Carrbridge tomorrow? I think I will. never had a chance to see any other carvers in action so I can go and learn how to do this carving stuff properly

Cheers Dave .. Forgot i had your card in the blinkin landy or i would have called you . Ah well till the next time .

Cant wait to see the eagle or buzzard , i'm a bird of prey nut so high expectations !!

Dont think i'll manage Carrbridge tomorrow but i'm sure it will be a great day out , Craigs going and there are other arbtalkers carving there i believe .

Take care , Graham

[dervishcarving]

Yup, hope to see Craig up there. to any other Arbtalkers, I will be the tall one in the fireman's coat and australian hat

please, dont give me the 'high expectations' pressure, i get nervous enough as it is
