Wood carving projects

Nice work CW.

Here's my latest. Wood ornaments.

Scott your trees inspired me today. It was a slow day at work and I had a cedar shingle so I cut me out a tree and shaved it down some and cut some lines in for texture. After getting home I used the burner(on low setting so it doesn’t darken just makes light lines)to add more texture and gave it some watered down paint.

Scott,
If you will take a knife and taper the edges down on the top legs of the triangle sections it will change the looks a lot. Take a look at the unpainted one and see if you get what I’m trying to explain. Doug and I will have you a full fledged member of the spittin’ and whittling’ club in no time. Keep up the good work!

Will do. Thx.

Been busy with harvest but getting in a little bit of carving here and there. Good stuff guys. Here's the latest two carvings all done with my Case seahorse whittler. I added in the picture my first Case saddle horn also.

Nice ones Doug! I like the little saddle horn but opted to find myself the old large saddle horn pattern, just have to have the big butter spreader looking blade. I made a different take of your Santa last year at Christmas.the little one is on 1x1 square wood the large is about 7/16” thick but both sides are carved.

Both excellent C-W.

Thanks guys. C-WADE7 I like those. I'll have to try a couple. I didn't realize there were 2 sizes of the saddle horn pattern? I usually tend to buy the larger patterns.

Haven’t had any big projects lately, so I’ve been piddling with scrap wood and my GEC pocket carver.

Nice one, that bark base looks great. The tree reminds me of the "feather stick” fire starters we make at scour's.

Wasn’t made to be but has a bit of the look that looks as bad with his burns and I haven’t seen any legit post of how bad it was but as quite as they’ve kept it I’m afraid it may be worse than we think.

This next pic was a caricature I did that was based off a “go by” carving someone else did. He’s got a CHIN!!(though I feel he has an almost Obama look, not really my “style”).

[doglegg]

Super work.

[C-WADE7]

Super work.

Thanks!
I also just read where Jay Leno was released from the hospital so I am glad it wasn’t too serious.

Got another couple ornaments done this week. Carved out of a Rose of Sharon branch.
