They're some lovely pieces, great work!

Thanks for the input gents, I'll check those leads out.... I'm hoping to be needing more in the future, and may have to buy bulk for decent wood, I've no idea what this my cost.. Haulage etc. But thanks for your help, Rick

Anyone........

Hi all, I'm out of my forum and don't frequent that often nowadays. I'm based in Bolton and in need of a big lump of oak ( approx 3ft dia, 6ft ish) for a commission that is long overdue, and I might lose it if I don't get this sorted. I've been let down numerous times by a guy who has a log he promised me....and it's doing ma nut in. So. Can anyone help? Wether it be something you could help with, or suggestions, contacts,....Etc Anything is much appreciated, thanks.. Rick

That's a beauty! Great work

I believe the thing to do is go as far as you " dare" with the saw without ruining something you've spent hours on, especially smaller more delicate pieces which need intricate detail. If the finish for e.g. requires a sanded smooth look, then other tools it is .... but if you've pushed as far as you can with the saw, you will improve, get closer to your finished piece and as a happy bonus, have less sanding etc to do. Don't get me wrong, I like using my hands and chisels, it's a nice way to work but not to remove wood fast.

I saw the quick vid you'd made of the trail on FB I think. Awesome work, brilliantly executed. -
Ahh! Sorry, misunderstanding, don't know, it was from pictures I'd seen somewhere.

Cool!

What a cool project. Lots of variety and scope to play. Crack on bud, doing a fine job.

Great job!

They're ace, loads of character! I've been playing about with painting carvings for about a yr now. It can really add to a piece.

That is the best one I've seen too, it's awesome. Have you seen it in situ? It's like a castle type house backdrop and floodlit, perfect.

Jawhorse, one of the best bits of kit you could invest in.

Looks like a couple of seized links in the chain from the pic. Dunno if this could be causing it.?.??

That's a beauty! Great work.

Love it!

I take it this is the guy who puts mice on his furniture? I did think about that fellow when I carved it.

Thanks all, yep mallet n chisels. I don't think it's a trip hazard, not even a stubbed toe in 10yrs so it should be fine, it's a bit smaller now too, but now you've mentioned it.........cue the obvious.

This bit of stringer poking up has been bugging me since I built the house, I always meant to carve it, even before I started carving. So while I was varnishing the f'in stairs in shite weather about a week ago, I thought I'd do it. Could of spent a lot more time on it, ....but couldn't be fussed to be honest. It's been like that for 10 yrs, maybe I'll revisit it in another 10, maybe not. And no.........I didn't use a chainsaw!

Thanks for the comments all. What species is it? When i can carve animals and you can tell what species it is from a carving, that's when you're a master. I unfortunately am not, I'm just happy it looks something like a deer.

I should reference photos more often and not just do it from ma head, think you know what something looks like till you make one.
