Worth a look on iplayer equivalent, 'Master and Commander: The True Story' Looks into the selection of oaks in ship building and testing its strength to withstand cannon balls.

Hi all, Has anyone on here bought an Arbortech carving disc or the mini version and found they don't get on with it? I'm asking 'cos I'm a cheapskate:001_tongue: and if you've got one collecting dust in the back of the workshop I'd be very interested in relieving you of your disappointed purchase:sneaky2: Cheers, Si

Amazing work Tommy, I'm 42 with wife and two little kids, Will you adopt me and teach me the way of the treecarver?

Hi Rob, found this on youtube, some cracking benches you've done mate:thumbup: That organic curvy sweet chestnut one is a beauty. Hope to get some more off cuts soon, Cheers, Si

Nice curves on the leaves, when I first read the title I thought it said Greenman plague:scared1:

Just had this sent to me on fbook:001_smile:

Shame they don't come in orange:sneaky2:

Some tidy work there, that beech was pretty hefty!
I'd be interested in any big butts to carve up mate if you're ever working nearer to scouse land:001_smile:

I thought I'd saved the titles and painters:confused1:, I'll have to dig around again, will post them up later:001_smile: Well observed on the oak, do you think there's some artistic license with it growing next to the willow? Thought you'd like that one seeing as you have an interest in how trees tolerate livestock damage:001_smile:

Yes, absolutely. There's lots of hidden symbolism in paintings. I wish I'd paid more attention at my lectures:blushing: Here's some interesting ones, not all scenes in the UK but still great snap shots of the past.

Here's another David, Captain Samuel Sharpe Pocklington with His Wife, Pleasance, and possibly His Sister, Frances - Image I took a keen interest in George Stubbs whilst at uni, I have to admit at the time I was looking at the horses rather than the trees.

Good question, one I'm not qualified to answer, it was done in Italy if that helps:sneaky2: Some good examples on NGA - British Painting Moonlight on the Yare - Image

I don't care what people say, this is a fine thread, I'm sure I've got some info on the like somewhere. This is a nice study, Salvator Rosa: A Large Tree (11.66.7) | Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History | The Metropolitan Museum of Art

It's a cracking forum as is, but I'd like to see some expansion of the arts and crafts within the industry on here if poss. Maybe an artist/ artisan directory to make it easier to locate a carver or a bodger in your area. It would be great to be able to get hold of carving tools on here too, whether that be existing arb suppliers expanding their wares or new dedicated carving suppliers. I know it's a pipe dream but I'd love to see a northern supplier local to me step up and undercut the ridiculously over priced F.R.Jones and Sons:sneaky2: Happy New Year BTW

New to the world of chainsaw carving but..
wisewood replied to EddieJ's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
Very nice work, I like your style -
I bought a froe and side axe from them several years back, I'd forgotten all about that shop.

Hi Steve, that's a pretty good wood spirit:thumbup1: I've never used flexicut but I know a lot of carvers use them. What are you carving with now? Another option is to by vintage tools off ebay, I get the odd one or two now and again and quite often for a bargain. To add to the list Simon suggested I would add sycamore, readily available in decent sizes, carves easily and takes detail well. All the best, Si
