Those are cool, such animated expressions.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Caricature Whittlins
Thanks for the kind words guys.
Whittlin' heads and faces is a lot of fun. I just can't quit!

Too cool Mr. Chips.

Some out of cottonwood bark.
The one is a practice piece for doing a female face, which I always find a lot more difficult than a male face. (Am I allowed to use those terms these days?)
Hopefully, y'all can detect the difference.

Always love your work. And she looks like a girl. Excellent!
Re: Caricature Whittlins
Well, I must have hit the wrong button somehow, and lost what I was trying to post.
Tying again.
A friend decided that he wanted to create a Biblical scene in his yard. Specifically the one recorded in Exodus 17:6, where God told Moses to strike the rock and water would come out.
The friend set about drilling a hole in a rock, and I got a piece of aspen that had thoughtfully been provided by some local beavers, and began whacking away at it with mallet and gouges, to produce Moses.
Here he is, almost 2 ft. tall, ready for installation with the fountain.

Re: Caricature Whittlins
Wow!! You have such a great talent! Thank you for the pics of your fabulous work!!
Re: Caricature Whittlins
Do you use power to carve,or just to rough out and then gouges to detail in?
