Awesome Si, from your head or pictures, I'm presuming your head
-
I like the feather work on the top of the wing and he has the look of an owl for sure Shaun (NorfolknGood) has a thread on here for some eye burning tools that he makes, i have a few from him and they are excellent, im sure he would help you out.

Thanks Steve and FriarsGorse, im never sure about applying paint to a carving...... then its too late but i take onboard what you say. Tuffty didnt look left, look right and then look left again before being hit by the chainsaw...... Tuffty has now sold for £45, i will have a go at another one tomorrow. Thanks again
-
Yes your right, I will have to carve another with characteristic clothing and hairy ears
-
I have just finished this carving...... need to do some finger sanding etc, but again im open to feedback especially as im trying to find my style of carving. Im sure anyone born in the 60's or earlier will recall the name.... Thanks for looking
-
Hahahaha thanks Mull, another oldie on here , I will call the thread Tuffty and see what happens
-
Ok Steve..... I will post a new 'Squirrel ' thread, the pic will be of the little critter in my garage but I think the detail and general appearance is visible..... It may attract some other Tuffty club followers
-
Hia Dave, thanks for the feedback it means a lot to me, the guidance and advice you give i duly note and will certainly try and incorporate the techniques in my next Raptor. I will check out Scott Dow and hopefully take on board some of his techniques. I will contact you on FB as i will be grateful for any further help. I carved a Squirrel today, but im conscious of posting too many pics on here, but i appreciate the help. Thanks again, Diolch yn Fawr

Thank you for the very useful feedback FriarsGorse, i carved the details to head last and knew straightaway that the forehead just didnt look right and also the beak wasnt exactly the right shape. Thecarving sold for £80 yesterday when i had it on display, im not sure of prices etc yet but it covered the carving costs with regards to my time. I appreciate your feedback very much thanks again.

Well I can tell the tractor is a County and I like the Bulls Head very much, nice one Johnny from a fellow novice -
Hahahahahahaha well that my age group for sure, i had the badge
-
Hahahahaha the trouble is i didnt intend to achieve that look i carved an Owl last year and i had the same Harry Potter feedback...... Im carving a Squirrel tomorrow, god knows what character that will turn out like, cheers Steve
-
Thanks Steve, your right, they think its something from Harry Potter !!!
-
Thanks Mull, i appreciate your comments very much
-
Thanks Steve, yes you are right, i was using a branch stump from the main piece to carve the head and to utilise fully the wood i had, a mistake to try and make something fit the wood with my novice skills. I will get some decent pieces to carve from oneday perhaps. Cheers for the feedback.
-
I have just completed this carving, again im looking to improve and so i would appreciate any feedback
-
Awesome carving and detail
-
I'm relatively new in comparison to many of the excellent carvers that have both replied and been referred too. But I'm local to Flintshire and have done some carving in Dolgellau recently. I have a portfolio if you would like to see some finished pieces.
-
Excellent carving, captures all the characteristics of the wolf, nice one
-
All the best Si, I still want to come over and watch you work oneday .....
-
Thanks TGB and Ukulian and all the best
-
Mull, Thanks for the comments it is very much appreciated and I did try and put a little smile on his face so as to not scare the kids

Just thought I would post this picture of a young dragon I have just finished for a birthday present for someone on the 31st December. Carved from images in my head but based upon the larger Welsh Dragon. This carving is 24 ins tall by 12 ins wide, a little bit of blow lamp work and then finished with Tung Oil. Happy New Year to everyone and thanks for all your help
-
Si, I haven't done any carving company either yet, I now have public liability insurance and the necessary saw tickets, I'm not yet turning professional, can we still carve in a ring alongsidec you guys who are in a different league. I'm hoping to enter at Woodfest Wales
-
I did it as payment for a few loads of carving wood I had from the community council. It is a piece of Larch that was wind fallen last winter. I don't know what price I would put on it really, I have been asked to carve other Dragons by people who passed by when I was carving it. I suppose about £150 to £200, I m sure someone on here will give me an idea
