Fantastic piece of work Roni, well worth braving the elements for

Nice site & some great pieces Hamish

Nice carving timberart what kind of paint do you use on your pieces?

Wow! thats a nice carving What wood did you use?

Great looking bench Happycarver must have taken a while to knock all that up!?

Hi all, ok, so I've decided to have a go at an eagle...Oh no I hear you cry, not another one! & I know what you're saying but I suppose it's like a rite of passage into the carving world like bears & mushrooms so I guess they all have to be experienced at least once So, I have a dilemma! I'm at the detailing stage & thoughts of how to finish the piece are starting to cross my mind so I'm hoping some of you can shed some light & end my chin scratching! Do you think eagles look better finished oh natural just using a clear oil/varnish? Or Do they look better with a lick of white paint to the head, yellow claws, brown body/wings etc? Also what do you call it when you use a gas torch to burn colour on to a piece? Is there a technical term for it? Do you just wave the aforementioned torch over the area until the desired crispness is achieved or do you apply some sort of chemical to the area first? Many thanks Gee

Nice work sir, I like the abstract table

Wow! Amazing work

Impressive piece Mr slackbladder, the three elements work really well together

Fantastic! love these off the cuff projects

Looks great & worth the effort me thinks

Looks great Roni, should be fun adding the other characters over the next few years.

Nice job on the owl's for a 30 min carve Might have to give one of these a go sometime!

Nice one splinters, there's Nay wrong with that

I was sitting watching Match of the Day when the Mrs came into the lounge and says "Fancy a shag Babe?" I said, "After the football love" She said, "You do realise that you can record it?" I said, "That's Nice, you get the camcorder, I'll come upstairs when the footy finishes". I went to see a psychic last weekend and was told that I would be coming into money. Last night I shagged a girl called Penny..... F**king spooky or what!!! Americans Jeff & Jim are Siamese twins joined at the hip. They walk into a bar in New York & order a couple of beers. Barman serves them and asks "You guys been on vacation yet?" "We're off to England next week" says Jeff "We go every year." Barman says " England 's great; the culture, history, the Queen. Jeff replies "We don't go for that ****, it's the only chance Jim gets to drive the f**king car. My girlfriend has just asked me how many women I've shagged. I said, 'I really dont want 2 answer that love, u know I've had a past & I don't want 2 upset u!' 'C'mon' she said, 'I can handle it!' So I had to sit there and count them all.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, you, 10, 11, 12. A husband emerged from the bathroom clearly aroused and naked. As he leapt into bed his wife complained, as usual, "I've a headache!" "Perfect!" her husband exclaimed. "I was just in the bathroom powdering my penis with crushed asprin. You can take it orally, or as a suppository, it's up to you!" My Wife asked me to go to the Doctors about my Erection problem, she wasn't pleased when I came back and gave her some Slimming Pills A man donates blood to his wife after she is badly hurt in a car crash. A few years later they go through a bitter divorce and he demands his blood back!. So she throws a tampon in his face and says "there you go you miserable git, I'll pay you back monthly!" And the moral of this story is :- Even if a woman eventually pays back what she owes a man!, there will ALWAYS be a string attached! I was at a wedding reception when the dj announced 'all the married men out there go and stand by the person who makes your life worth living'. The barman was crushed to death My missus asked me to help her stop sucking her thumb, so I drew a cock on it I reported a dead woman lying in a field to the police. They asked me: 'How did you find her body?' I said, 'Her tits were ok, but the rigormortis had tightened her arse a bit too much for my liking'

I changed my iPod name to Titanic. It's syncing now. When chemists die, they barium. Jokes about German sausage are the wurst. A soldier who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran. I know a guy who's addicted to brake fluid. He says he can stop any time. How does Moses make his tea? Hebrews it. I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me. This girl said she recognized me from the vegetarian club, but I'd never met herbivore. I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I can't put it down. I did a theatrical performance about puns. It was a play on words. They told me I had type A blood, but it was a Type- O. A dyslexic man walks into a bra. PMS jokes aren't funny, period. Why were the Indians here first? They had reservations. Class trip to the Coca-Cola factory. I hope there's no pop quiz. Energizer battery arrested. Charged with battery. I didn't like my beard at first. Then it grew on me. How do you make holy water? Boil the hell out of it! Did you hear about the cross-eyed teacher who lost her job because she couldn't control her pupils? When you get a bladder infection, urine trouble. What does a clock do when it's hungry? It goes back four seconds. I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me! Broken pencils are pointless. I tried to catch some fog. I mist. What do you call a dinosaur with an extensive vocabulary? A thesaurus. England has no kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool . I used to be a banker, but then I lost interest. I dropped out of communism class because of lousy Marx. All the toilets in New York 's police stations have been stolen. Police have nothing to go on. I got a job at a bakery because I kneaded dough. Haunted French pancakes give me the crepes. Velcro - what a rip off ! Cartoonist found dead in home. Details are sketchy. Venison for dinner? Oh deer ! Earthquake in Washington obviously government's fault. I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure. Be kind to your dentist. He has fillings, too.

I served 3 years in the TA Royal Anglian Regiment, 4 company, anti tank division...Great days!

Cool beans! Always handy when a piece of work sparks interest or ideas for potential customers

Nice work sir, lovin the ripples they really set the piece off

I'm thinking the little fella looks like a penguin

Nice one Si, how tall is the wee fella?

Hi Nick My general rule of thumb is get anything you can get your hands on! Oak, Beech, Elm, Walnut, Birch, Cherry, Sycamore are all good and I got hold of some Ash a few weeks ago which is nice to carve. If you're carving Poplar you might want to let it season for a while because of its high moisture content also beware it will crack/split as it dries out. Best of luck Gee

Great idea! they all look really cool

Stop eating all the pie's! Reduce alcohol intake, Eat healthy & Excersise ....Simples!

Really nice variety of work Ian Think you'll be a bit busy when the new toy arrives!
