Moon Dancer and a Green Man

[chainsawdick]

Heres a simple carving to have a go at guys, stands about 2ft tall, pine.

With a piece of 2"x2"x18" wood, drill a hole halfway and pop a 4"x1/2" coach screw in to bang into the bottom of a small diameter log, this can then be clamped into a work bench.

I usually cut the legs down to drop the height by about 6", saves chasing it around the floor

I spend on average 6 months carving in exotic locations lol

Mainly with Rednecks, Im an English Redneck so me and my tooth fit right in lol

 

I have a good friend Gem, a chainsaw chick from Birmingham coming down next week, she also carves abroad, lets hope we have some dry warmer weather.
