Figurehead finished!

[squbrigg]

Well folks, it was a job, but it's done, carved, painted and fitted....that was the toughest part, fitting it. Carve part of the stem to recieve it and a slot in his back to marry into and voila...simple as can be! Ya right!!! I love a good challenge.

Re: Figurehead finished!

Super detail Bob. Is that red coat a political statement??

Re: Figurehead finished!

Wade....where there's a will, there's a way. I use double sided tape to hold him while doing the carving, after I rough him out on the scroll saw....that was fun! , Arms were cut and carved seperately and glued on, then finish carved.

Don....good estimate sir, he's actually 5/16" wide, and 7/8" tall. I'm not sure what size boot he's wearing though!

kb2rocket....did you notice the inscription on the sword blade and what the rolled up chart is of?

Hugh....sorry, no political leanings. I just keep my hand on my wallet whenever there are politicians around! Politicians of all stripes!

Glad you like it folks.

Bob,
Am I correct in thinking he's got one eyebrow raised? Let me double check with a hubble telescope! Incredible! I think I've said it before, I'd like to look over your shoulder while you carve!

That is great Bob,I wouldn't want one of the people from the Red party at the helm of that ship. That is going to be a beautiful model.

Re: Figurehead finished!

WOW! Awesome work! The detail of your work is what sets you apart from others. Keep up the patience that is needed for your kind of carving. I would like to see more pictures of your work as you go.

Re: Figurehead finished!

Incredible! I don't even know what to call a carving this small. To me, anything under 5 inches is miniature! Beautiful work.

Re: Figurehead finished!

Re: Figurehead finished!

I think a carving that small would or should be called "mini-micro or micro-mini carving". At least you shouldn't have a lot of dollars tied up in the cost of wood.Talking Thumbs Up

Re: Figurehead finished!

Not much wasted around here in the way of wood. My scraps are pretty small!

Re: Figurehead finished!

Bob,
What do they call your sawdust? Microsawdust? We ALL sure enjoy seeing your progress! I guess we'll have to get magnifiers if we want to see what you DON'T use! Keep up the beautiful work!
