Hand carved Oak & Acer leaves

[Pan]

Hello again

 

Long time no contact! my apologies for always looking in but not contributing much - definitely time to change

 

An Arb with a hobby of woodturning now changing to woodcarving (as the turning didn't seem to be selling or getting me anywhere).

 

I didn't feel I could put these in the 'chainsaw carving forum' as they were made with chisels rather than chains. They are made from cherry wood mounted on a walnut plaque (7" x 7").

 

Any opinions or comments for improvement gratefully received.

 

Kind regards

Brilliant. Love to try something like that. Did you carve green or seasoned?

Fantastic work,a set of these would look stunning on the wall, are you going for any other species?

Cheers for all the replies guys - nice to hear all your views.

To answer some of your questions:

 

They are all carved from seasoned wood.

 

They took quite a while to carve, each one done over a weekend.

 

Currently carving a Ginkgo design (but not finished yet)!

 

Many thanks again
