Carved this at the Wales Woodfest this year, It did not work out quite the way I wanted and the wings are poor, but I was cany pleased with it.

Have not posted in ages, lost my Dad to cancer in April eight weeks after being diagnosed, its been a night mare but I'm getting back into carving and loving it. I had to go and carve this memorial bench at a paid demo the morning we lost him, I could not let them down and I knew my Dad would of wanted me to do it. Cheers, Tommy

Thanks, Portraits would be the hardest thing to carve, its hard enough doing a face never mind getting it to look like someone. Heres a pic of a face I used for my Fairy, similar but not identical! I carved the dog for someone but they only wanted a 2ft one, so I have to do another, this one is sold now. I think Dogs are good seller's but I think you do get the fussy customers to go with it, like my dog has longer hair or his ears are to short! carve it again! Email me some pics Shrek, and I will have see what I can do. Cheers Tommy

looking for a saw any suggestions
TommyTreecarver replied to desired_affect's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
The Echo's are great little saws for detailing. The Echo CS2700ES is smaller and lighter, and you can get an 8" bar for really up close detail work. If you can afford it buy an ms 200 with a 12" dime tip 1/4 pitch, plus stihl are now selling the special carving chain whith the backs of the cutter already shaped! I also use a 346xp with a 14" quater tip with 3/8 lp chain cuts really fast, then I have a 357xp with a 16" Toonie this has a nose smaller than your standard and is good for blocking out in scary tight spots. Its also run with the 3/8 lp chain. Its Standard bars after that on my 362, 372, 660 Good luck. http://treesculpting.co.uk/ -
Cheers, yes you sometimes find rot spots , this one has a large hole where a limb has been lost and its rotted ' thats the reason it was felled. That is it where I have carved the Dragons tail, it will not be long before the two pieces seperate.
