another seal question

[dervishcarving]

only kidding. a bench i did for my local town's sea-front. I carved it back in September but it was only moved into position on the 29th. So far its had a decent response and I have had a few people contact me about commissions out of it.

sometimes doing charity work pays off ...plus it makes me feel good so there!

its sycamore so might not last overly long, especially on the sea front.

It looks great where is it? How long did it take?

Aye, as Simon said...that is me smiling well, not quite. sun was in my eyes so wasnt all that comfortable. Bench took probably 7 or so hours of actual carving, spread over 2 days. The log was in a difficult place to get to for carving and involved a lot of faffing about. learnt a lot doing this one though. I kinda like carving full-log benches, i like leaving part of the log untouched so you can really see how it was made
