Running Hare

[NorfolknGood]

Just started marking out and rough cutting a running hare. Cant go into detail due to my MS150 being dead and being under warranty it's being fixed by the place of purchase.

 

I got the ash marked up and a few cuts with firstly a large Husky then my MS260.

 

More to follow as it progresses.

I'd run that straight into the log burner.....

 

Seriously though, looking good so far. Don't forget to show us the finished article.....

Like that. Nice shape already.

Bugger dropped it

 

just about to go get some Gorilla PU glue.

Oh bugger!

Could still work as is though

[NorfolknGood]

A smear of Gorilla on the joint and sash cramps and the break was sorted I cut 2" off the end so it stands less chance of getting knocked again. 2 Paracetamol for bunny and a coffee for me and some more carving done. I had to resort to using a spade bit to drill between front and back legs other than that it's all chainsaw so far.

 

It's bloomin windy today so having problems with wood blowing under my mesh visor and getting in my eyes.

[NorfolknGood]

Getting tricky now.

Looking real good .How fast can ahare run?

[NorfolknGood]

Off the top of my head the European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) is able to run at speeds of up to 56 km/h (35 mph).
