Hi all, Im looking at carving a standing otter on an fixed Oak butt. Any advice on blocking out or producing this type of carving, I don't want to end up having a meerkat :-)

Iv been contemplating buying a wood lathe for years now and was thinking it a good idea to do some research on a suitable lathe for me and general workings. Does anyone recommend any books that include things like lathe varieties, parts of the lathe, using a lathe etc. That would be great. :-)

Its Superb mate!!!! The smooth lines make it flow, if that makes sense. Brilliant. Are you going to sell or keep?

Ditto, the CS30/31 is a must, I went through NPTC and they will show you all you need for maintenance to felling small trees. Use of a chainsaw takes time, getting used to the feel and how it cuts. Also think of volunteering at some places to get chatting to foresters etc. They will have some great advice, and its free advice. I have 7 yrs previous chainsaw use and am still learning lots with carving and techniques. But most of all think of the safety and buying PPE is a must! Enjoy :-)

WOW wisewood! That is unbelievably ace! Superb how you've reused the wood to make the top. Is is a keeper? or a seller?
-
Whats your price inc. P&P?

Iv found that Oak (Similar to others) Is a hard wood but great to carve. Its tougher to carve but not stringy like willow. So like others say keep the chain sharp. Iv also found oak tends to split more vigorously than others but can add to the effect of the piece instead of looking at it as damaged. The wood its self has great grain when done. Smoothing can be difficult due to wood strength Show us your photos when your done?

Sounds like we need a wknd meet :-) *bump up* too see if there are any other midland members. Next stage is to roughly find a location everyone is happy with and maybe arrange something in the Winter. Lets see...

Hello All I just wanted to find out how many carvers are here in the Midlands. Depending on this popular (or unpopular) midlands activity I was wondering whether to have a bit of a arbtalk meet. Pub meet etc etc Not sure if this has been done before and failed or whether im around here on my own Lets see how we get on....
