A Meerkat Carve

[abercarver]

Not something i would usually carve but had a go at a Meerkat for a supportive purchaser.

 

Didnt take too long and is helping improve my skills..

 

Also been busy working on a Stihl 010av & Stihl 020av pro...

Nice. Its got the attitude/posture. I reckon a more pointed snout and it'll be spot on.(just my opinion)

Thanks goodpig, looks like its got a teddybear head :-S

Ha ha! Well I'm no expert,I've just been asked to do a 9inch meerkat, but gonna push it to12 and keep it strictly chainsaw with a bit of sanding. Should be a challenge. I'll post on here if I don't slip and chop it in half.

Good luck...can't wait for the pics :-)

What goodpig said, pointier snout and job done:001_smile:

How are you finding the 010?

I used one for a while as my carving saw but found it would give me pins and needles in my trigger finger, could have been shot av rubbers though.

Still a fun saw:001_smile:

Iv just managed to get the 010 running after catching a super cheap buy.

After stripping the carb etc it started first time.

 

Its a fun little saw but havent used it much yet. Im hoping to expand my saws further.

Ill let you know if the 010 starts getting to me :-)
