  1. Nice and definitely catches the character of the chosen species, good use of colour on the bulldog
  2. I'd leave it as it will change colour as it weathers over time
  3. Run a straight edge across the top of that bar, it does appear to have adopted in it, worth a try as you have done everything else ....
  4. Thanks Ian, carved at a country show last saturday, ran out of time so finished it today.
  5. Just finished this carving off today of a young Badger, bit of paint on the head just to set it off....... for sale if anyone is interested, just pm me
  6. Cheers Mark, many thanks, watch out for the Grim Reaper, coming soon
  7. Thanks Khriss, nice of you to say so, there are a number of interested buyers all have mentioned lights of some description. I will take a couple of pics tonight with the carving illuminated by my garden light and see how it looks Thanks again
  8. Thanks very much, it's had so much interest I'm thinking of starting on another one...
  9. Yep, a trip to IKEA and then there will be a coloured light..... post the pic early next week
  10. Hi Steve, yes i had Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings stuff in my head, not sure it will sell, but i like it anyway.
  11. Cheers Sloth, i liked carving it, it was carved from a very old piece of Oak which had been under cover for 10 years, it had cracked naturally and the cracks should add to the affect of the carving when i oil it
  12. Carved this Spirit of the woods this week, not carved to order , just wanted to carve something like this which has been in my head a while....... i enjoyed every second of it knowing that it didnt matter where i was going with my thoughts. Needs dome oil etc and the base needs some more work which i will finish tomorrow. This type of carving is not everyones cup of tea but it will attract attention at the shows i hope. Grim Reaper next ....
  13. Nice one Dan...just about to post the same on here.
  14. Outstanding tribute Dave, I have retired from the fire service after 30 yrs and fully understand how the carving will be received by all who view it, with total respect for such a reflective memorial piece.
  15. Thank you Khriss, very much appreciated
  16. There was a lot of tears when they saw the carving, that Yemen that they liked the carving without them having to say anything..... I'm pleased with the result Thanks all
  17. Excellent piece of carving and what a superb idea ....... just told the wife im taking the chainsaw upstairs, no need to worry
  18. I posted one of these pics on FB explaining that i had carved it to replace a previous carving i had completed for a customer last year, which had split So this was a freebie and i can now repair the original and who knows, maybe sell that on.
