Nice one Steve, nice to meet you last week in carrbridge thanks for all your help. Ian North Wales

Jimzey, it's the APF this week if you want to see more

Very very nice piece indeed and a credit to you, fully reflecting the sensitive nature of such a carving, I'm sure the family are very proud.

It was an outstanding weekend for me and a privelige to be carving in an arena with such carving talent. Great atmosphere in the pub at night I have a few pics myself which I will post over the next few days.

Superb Simon

My first big carving event ...... My head is empty I heard the radio 2 piece and it was good to be fair. Well I'm packed and about to head North
-
right, i have stopped laughing....... i was a fire officer for 30 years, during which time i was faced with many and differing emergency scenarios...... none of which challenged me like the task you have placed before me i hope the finished carving will be a marketable proposition for someone if i choose to accept the mission .....

Jmzey, thanks and yes the spalted beech does add that camo look, but unfortunately that was by accident and not any artistic flare on my part to be honest. With regards to your bonnet comment, i will leave that as im sure others who are landrover owners will have something to say Cheers matey

Carved this Landy today from a piece of spalted beech, its one of them modified landys for hill climbs with a cage instead of a cab.... the customer wants it for her hubbys birthday next week.

That has character already si, what's the wood

James, for your third attempt at carving then in my opinion that is an excellent effort. If you want constructive criticism then perhaps the distance from the eyes to the nose needs to be greater giving your piece a longer nose to forehead and making the cheeks look a little slimmer. You mentioned the use of other tools that helped with your carving, I have them myself and I have found that with practice you can achieve more with your chainsaws and rely less on your power tools, using them mainly to finish off your carving. Keep pushing yourself with your saws and don't be in too much of a hurry to pick up the Saburrtooth, miss it out and go for the finger sander instead, I found by doing this my skill with the saw improved. I'm no expert compared to most of the guys and gals on here and I'm still a novice myself but hope my little contribution helps you if you want to improve the chainsaw carving element of your skill. Nice one

You have this off to a fine art now Si, I presume these are off cuts that you select, the hare is captured very well in your designs in my opinion
-
Hahahaha yes he had that aggressive look for some reason, he sold today though.
-
I like them Si, your Hare are better looking than mine from today
-
Like them a lot Si.......
-
Well that's put me in my place, excellent piece of work.
