beginners mushrooms

[dervishcarving]

i did a biiiig leopard carving from a eucalyptus tree last year, lovely wood for colours. i also lyke sycamore, love the creamy colour and finish. does tend to be a bit 'dusty' tho so your bar needs cleaning more often, same as beach i guess (my least favorite carving wood at the moment)

Here's some of my mushrooms I started to carve...

Well, I've started on a dolphin, got the basic shape, not entirely happy with it tbh, but it is my first go at one, I'll post a pic when I've finished.

 

Do you guys have a photo of the subject you're carving whilst your doing it or is it purely out of your heads?

I was at montacute house nr yeovil, they had these clothes peg benches plus one more underway. I thought they looked very effective, functional and might even be quite comfy to enjoy a cheeky chablis in the evening summer sun...

For finishing I always use clear Danish Oil after burning the gills.

 

Adding a door and chimney goes down well. Try also owls pretty easy to carve
