  2. Hi Nick, as above really. i tend to use what ever i can get hold of, not done much carving recently hopefully have a little play this weekend.
  3. Amazing carvings and nice site, same little thing as delabodge with the sub headings.
  4. Well it wasn't quite what i was expecting, thought he would be a seasoned woodsman, but i think ill watch the next one to see how it pans out. Agree with Andy Collins two posts.
  5. Excellent service sorting me out with a new blower, very friendly and helpful advice. Its a beast in comparison to the old one Thanks
  6. On BBC 4 tonight at 20.30, looks like it may be quite interesting.
  7. Great Carving, really like the Kingfisher
  8. Better pics of Fung found on dead Larch yesterday, Poss Phaeolus.
  9. Thanks Tony, that's what i first thought but looked in Keizer and Jordan and it didn't seem right. will venture out tomorrow with my big cam and get some better pic's. Quite a few fung starting to show so may make an aftrnoon of it
  10. awesome, they must have taken ages, someone's got a lot of patience.
  11. Found this on a dead Larch any ideas? sorry poor phone pic.
  12. Thanks for all the comments
  13. Usually season the lump, the lump it came from was about three years old. I carved it out with the chainsaw then left it for a while before sanding. Yew seems to be quite a stable timber.
  14. Cheers TMJ, firstly i use a standard 113mm grinder with sanding discs through various grades, the mini grinder is an arbortec mini grinder attachment, good for tight spaces you can carve and sand with it.
  15. Thanks slackbladder, i need to get a random orbital sander. ive had some nasty blisters from hand sanding stuff
  16. Thanks David, The hand sanding took about a day and a half the abstract form is what made it so time consuming, the whole thing is silky smooth, finished in danish oil.
