Absolutely fantastic Tommy, gobsmacked I am. I am inspired by your work, all I need to find now is a nice big lump of talent & I'll be as good as you mate.

This is a Piece of Sweet Chestnut I started last march and left, I am now carving it inbetween jobs I have, Its a piece I just want to carve for myself and have made it up in my head,

I have not used any images or drawings and have not drawn on the log at all, it never works out the way I want it due to cock-ups so I make changes as necessary.

 

There is a Turtle to carve in the Dragons hand then its sanding,

Holidays next week but I will get back to it when I'm back to finish it up.

Thanks for the comments,

Thanks, Tommy

Back at this, must get it finished this week.

 

Had to do a bit of glueing and bolting to stop her falling off, it was a natural seam where the tree had stemmed in to two.

 

It worked and its nice and tight, used a hole saw to make the plugs for the holes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers,

That is surely a work of art Tommy.

Not enough superlatives to give it justice.

 

Thanks for taking the time to show us.

 

 

Nice restoration.

 

 

 

 

How much would you hope to acheive, if you don't mind me asking?
