GreenMan

[Goodpig]

Been asked to do a green man carving so I thought I'd have a wee practice.

Took me about an hour to flesh out,thought it weren't too bad so spent another hour fettlin and staining with decking stuff. (Might get a few quid for it)

Hope to do a better job of the commission, I'll have more time to play.

Need a better vision of what I'm going to carve.

Any advice on easiest leaf shapes to carve? Or additional details? Please.

looks dam good to me.

I agree, looks great.

Oak leaves are done a lot and look good. Just go with your gut

Got your own style lv it stick with it, Its what people like , I know I like that good job.

[Chippy]

Looks good, know someone who might be interested in that

[Stompy]

Really like that, you've done a cracking job.

 

I've got a green man on the front of the house, think he is covered (and seems to be chewing on) Oak leaves......

I've got one in my kitchen, in mahogany I think. Green men tend to have leaves coming out of their mouths, noses, eyes, ears etc. (as mine does). Bit freakish, and probably not easy to do with a chainsaw!

To me that looks great just as it is. I feel a green man is up to the individual and can be anything from an oak leaf with eyes to just a face.

[sandspider]

True. I like the OP's version too - wish I had the skill.
