Jihad Carving

[Lynn O. Doughty]

This ought to stir up things....I'm in the process of doing a carving that reflects my views on whats going on in the mideast. Sketched it out at the KC show and have been working on it for the past two days. Spent yesterday afternoon turning an RPG on the lathe. Turned out real well. The piece should be quite amusing if maybe a little controversial. But hey.....if the cartoonists can fan the flames why not the woodcarvers??? Stay tuned!!

P.S. No....It is not of the Prophet. (PBUH)

Re: Jihad Carving

I LIKE it! The biggest problem with the islam extremists is they have NO SENSE OF HUMOUR at all.

What, they figure Mohammed never laughed at anything in his life? Getting a giggle is some terrible sin? Poking fun is detrimental to your chances of attaining heaven?

Sheesh!

And a scud is about all a jihadist is worth.

I have no objection to others using my carvings as guides to do their own. I learned by referring to Andy Anderson's work and Harold Enlow's books and carvings. You got to learn from somebody. I'm flattered.

Re: Jihad Carving

Hey Lynn I remember seeing a camel as a scud missle launcher, is it based on that cartoon?

Re: Jihad Carving

No camels! He's a Jihadist on the move! Got the figure all completed, not just have to do the base and put it all together and then apply some paint.
