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.

Nice job Mark.

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.

[carvin don]

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

[knifetime]

Thanks Don,I think they are the hardest thing I have tried yet.You wouldn't think that, but they can be.

[knifetime]

Hello to all.
I git this thing off in 4 weeks and thin a brace,I hope I can whittle with the brace.Can't wait
Hear is one for you to do.I thought you all may like this and I love spoons for some reason.This set is 41 1/2 in long.I did not do this set but I,m going to try to replicate it win I git able to,it's one of my first projects on the list.

So much talent showcased here. I must give it a try.

Here's the head of a walking staff I did years ago. It used to have carved ivory fangs, but a brief encounter with a Copperhead down on the creek bank made short work of 'em. I'm gonna get him a new pair made one of these days, but for now, I just call him "Toothless".

Very cool WB,that is another thing that I like to do walking sticks.That is a neat one.

[knifetime]

Hear is another idea for a project that comes from my fascination with spoons.
They looks to be done very cheaply and not even close to the quality of the one's I posted early.But they are made of some nice walnut it looks like to me. They can be replicated much easier than the much larger set I had posted and done in some nice hardwood. They are about 22 in long by 4 1/2 in at its widest part.

Keep posting gents, I'm sure we all look forward to seeing what you you are working on.

Heres a little scene I made out of a 2x4 way back when I got out of the military and was looking for a job and had some time to kill. The chain I did while traveling in the military. I think I traced the some of the animals from my kids coloring book. That was about 40 years ago and was the last time I remember having any spare time.___Dave

Impressive carving, Dave. Something I couldn't do.

You can, If you can make yourself have the patience and not try to go fast anyone can whittle. The big problem I had when I started and the biggest problem I find for new ppl to whittling is they go too fast and take too much wood off at one time. You have to go very slow and take your time.
I would start by getting a book on whittling and there is many out there that are very inexpensive and are a great place to start.
