Re: Post your projects for all to see.
This is the only one I have left, but back in the early 80's, I used to carve and paint these things up by the hundreds to sale at crafts fairs. I had about a dozen different patterns for them and they sold for $10-$15 each. On average i'd sale about $200-$300 worth in a weekend, but one fall show I sold over $600 worth in 2 days. Most of it is cut out on a scroll saw and then the detail carved in. Once I had the blanks cut out, I could carve and paint about 3-4 an hour. But after about 4 years of shows, I finally got burnt out on doing them. Havn't really done alot of carving since. Like the carvings i'm seeing here though.

Yes, I carve the head and bust separately ...
made a little more progress on 'ol whiskers ...
You're right, Lynn's work is outstanding/top notch. I do not follow his blog, but view his work often over on WCI.

Re: Post your projects for all to see.
I have fiddled a little as of lately,but until I git this hand operated on i have had to leave us a man down.
The pair of pliers are all cut free but I still need to shape them, and I'm not sure what's in store for the cross.

Very nice job Mark and knifetime. Those pliers are neat ... they say ol' Warther Mooney could whittle those in a matter of minutes.

Re: Post your projects for all to see.
