Diver

[splinters]

not posted in a while as iv been busy working on various secret projects but here is one i finished recently. the guy i did it for is celebrating 30 years working as a commercial diver this year. its doug fir and just over 7ft tall. i spent a total of just over 60 hrs on it.

Probably a stupid question, but is the pipe work part of the carving? i.e not added on afterwards.

[splinters]

no the pipe work is steam bent willow which is an art form all of its own that i had to learn.

Well done, after doing something like that if I could. I'd not want to carve for a few weeks at least. Very outstanding work.
