It looks good to me ...... If you enjoyed carving it then all is good. That will sell no problem. -
Very nice carving ....:

I will keep an eye out for this speed carve at next years Woodfest !!!! Nice one Simon
-
Another stunning piece Simon, nice one

Simon the finished carving is awesome now it's stood up .... Nice one

Thanks everyone for your comments and advice it has been very useful, I will try the separate ear plugs under my current defenders and see what it's like. I have been given a pair of Peltor to try for a couple of days also. But thanks for all your comments it is appreciated.
-
Thanks arbmonkey, I have just looked at them on Amazon and like you say it will be worth paying a bit more for the reliability ...... Many thanks
-
Hello everyone, I'm seeking advice and guidance on purchasing ear defenders with built in radio/mp 3 player etc. Are they any good and if so any suggestions for make and model. Many thanks Ian

Excellent piece again Simon, I will be at Woodfest across the 3 days I hope I get the chance of meeting you. As you can see I'm still working on these Woodspirit faces but I will get there oneday.
-
Excellent small stuff Simon .... I may have a go at them Oak leaves myself if I may
-
Absolutely stunning Simon, it's work like this that newbies like me aspire to achieve...... I hope to meet you at woodfest :-)
-
Looks good especially if it's your first owl :-) I'm glad you got the tool from Shaun Keep going as the next owl will be easier again Ian
-
Thanks Greengui and I appreciate your comments, the feet I think make the wings look even smaller, but as you say the overall look has been achieved. Many thanks again Ian
-
Thank you Goodpig, I appreciate your comments and take on board the wing size Many thanks Ian
-
Hahaha yes I get your point Rover ..... I think some re shaping is required at the weekend hahahaha Thanks again
-
Thank woodcrafter, I like the term 'owlnix' and your right it does look like a cross between the two. I will carve another and sort the wings out next time with a more suited piece of wood. Appreciate your comments msnyvthanks
-
Thanks Simon, I appreciate your comments very much, I took the wings to the extreme of the peace of Oak I used which limited me a little, I will concentrate more on the wings for the next one. Thanks by the way for agreeing to a visit one-day, I drink gallons of tea myself :-)I will fetch some biscuits Ian
-
Thanks Sloth, I appreciate your comments regarding the wings, the base is just the original piece of wood with a branch stump left in place, I should have done more with that. Many thanks

Carved this over the bank holiday and standing back and looking at it I'm not sure if it's an owl or something from Harry Potter. I have carved owls before and used pictures as a guide , this came out of my head. Constructive criticism most welcome before I decide to carve similar.

Would you mind if I came and watched you work one day ...... I'm only over the border in North Wales

This is the Machined tool for the die grinder from Sean at Norfolkngood

Hi ...,welcome, I'm new myself for the past 12 months, I have had so much help on here it is in believable. If you look at the threads page and scroll down to a thread by me called 'burning eyes' I asked the same question and got the bits needed for my die grinder to make the eyes. The gentleman you want is Shaun at Norfolngood he will machine the bits you need to the size you want.

You have nailed it, I like the pose of the badger very much .... Nice one
-
Hi Phil I have recently carved a few badgers and torch the body before adding some oil, however I have used black and white paint just for the head, I don't like using paint normally but it finishes the badger in this case.
