Nice fix Merle and looks like a perfect piece....

Great one and has a nice showing of movement. Easy to imagine the scene and can just feel the cold.

Well done and like all the details...the radio and mike really punctuate the character.

Very nice work and it is great he is so motivated on doing constructive things at his age. Glad to see it.

The lighthouse is a very nice piece with detail...well done.

That made me a little nervous when I first started buying from them. Sometimes I would get the wood and not have an invoice for a few days. I wonder how often they have been taken advantage of, or if their buyers are mostly decent folks? I have bought from other wood suppliers and they follow the...

I'll vote for the Timberwolf blades also. Big difference.

Nice work and I'm sure she will love it. Shame your real estate is limited, as mine is, or you could carve and excellent carousel. A great looking piece and unique.

[woodburner807]

Excellent carving with great detail...obviously a winner. Might be difficult to part with that one.

Dang, waaaay too far. ...

Send a PM OF and I'd give mine away if you are in the area...

I have one and seldom use it because I carve smaller pieces directly from the blocks. Seems to do the job when needed though. I got a finer saw band because the one that came with it was coarser than I needed for the smaller cuts.

Welcome to the forum. Sometimes cabinet shops will give away pieces of wood, which you might want to check out. Another is sawmills...

No words can describe your work but obviously you have a great talent that shows with your work. Very intricate. I did visit your website and it also shows your excellent work. I'd urge other carvers to check it out...superb work and artistic. Keep posting your progress...much appreciated....

Based on her previous work, she does an excellent job...way better than I can. You are lucky she is able and willing.

The burning is well enough done that they stand by themselves without paint. It all depends on the work and mostly I come down on the side of leaving things natural with a tung oil finish. When I first started in pyrography I fought the urge to use any color but after seeing how great some work was...

Really a nice piece Denny and glad you shared it. You're lucky to have one of Joe's creations and it accents his work nicely.

Nice plaques Eddy and the knots add more character to them. Your another testament to the nice work that can be done on pine. I haven't carved any but I'm told sugar pine is nice...just none around here...but we do have Port Orford cedar.

Thanks for the input. I have several OCC knives and they are mostly the ones I use. I have been looking at this one for larger roughouts, but still not sure: https://mountainwoodcarvers.com/coll...-carving-knife

I think it comes down to what you enjoy, Bob. On my wood burning, forum several years ago, the best wood was Italian Poplar, basswood, poplar., etc. Pine was considered "junk" wood with heavy resins in it, wild grain, etc. However, there were some people who used pine and made fantastic burnings....
