So I've Taken Up Wood Carving....

Fantastic Jane

 

I love the box Jane. The lid looks very touchy feely, if you get my meaning.

 

I've just read through this thread from start to finish!

W-O-W!!!

 

Love those mices Jane.... And your selection of different woods,
Jenny

 

I should finally update this thread after two months.

I took a month off to grieve and reorganise my shed after getting a new lathe but have since been back to work. I shall just post pictures of some of the recent projects I've been doing.


Sleeping owls to sit on the back of our future garden bench (2 of 4, almost completed)

Completed commission for fairy doors. The bumble bee was the first thing I made on my new lathe.



This years completed nativity, larger and with animals, another commission.

 

Completed poppy turned on the lathe and then carved and painted. It will go into a community wreath as part of the remembrance Sunday event. I may make more of these if I get time to do so.

Christmas bits I've almost finished to follow.

 

Jane you really are so clever, . Brilliant pieces of work, I've enjoyed seeing your photos.
The poppy is very good & the nativity set is exceptional, very well done

 

Moose commission. Carved from Mahogany and walnut.

I love him! Do you take orders?

 

Astounding work. Hope it really takes off for you. Just been through all your photos are truly stunning.

 

Thanks everyone This is probably one of the best pieces of work I've done so far. It's working progress can be seen here anyone who is interested to see.

I do take orders and commissions. Drop me a PM if you want a commission done. I also have a shop on etsy which I think is in my blog link below.

 

Wow, @Jungle Jane i enjoyed seeing your work in progress.
I love the robin too & the tribute to your nan is very special, she was obviously a very special lady.
