Squirrels in a tree

[bghebert]

Here's a carving I started Thursday, finished on Friday. The nice Lady who order the carving took all the pics and sent them to me so I thought I'd show them step by step. She took a lot so I picked out the ones I thought would show the changes. the tree originally was broke off by a small tornado that went through town.

Beautiful! I love the natural color and the way the wood grain is running through that one squirrel is really neat! I bet that lady was happy with it. I know I would be.

I really enjoyed seeing that come out of the wood you were left with. The two squirrels look so natural there. Wonderful use of the tree.
Thanks for showing us.

Didn't you just finish carving a large owl! Boy you work fast Bruce. Once people see this carving, everyone will want a squirrel in thier tree. They turned our really life like. The natural finish suits them very well.

Thanks Patrick, the Owl got placed on the back burner for a couple of days. I hope to finish it next week, painted that is. After sketching the squirrels several times to implant them in my mine they were pretty straight forward. I spent 5 hours on them, 2 roughing them out with chainsaws and 3 hours finishing them off with smaller tools, this time of year I have to make hay while the sun shines.
