Hi Joe Nice knives. I use the blue high carbon steel hacksaw blade for inlay chisels and what not. Is a bit on the brittle side but holds an edge and cheap as chips....

Gort to be lucky some of the time Ed. Is good to have a nice find now and then. Happy carving!!...

I agree with the guys. Dont use the stuff inside. Apart from the long term potential health issues there is the possibility with some products of creating the perfect environment for a fuel air expolsion. All it would take is a spark.

I wait for a good day and spray stuff outside in the...

Decided the carving on the front of the stick was getting a bit lost in the dark background so decided to add some colour to draw the eye to it.

Used light coloured wood for contrast and made some silver inserts to drop into the carving to draw the eye to it and add some contrast .

Another just awesome stick Mark. Love your work, the expression you get on these is just wonderful.

What knives was ED talking about???

To get a realistic look to the wing One could carve the feathers to shape to get the desired shape to the width of the feather then do a final steam bend to get the exact curve you want over the length of it. Will take a bout half a lifetime but It could work and would be unique I think.

Aha!! The customer is always right hehehe. I thought it might have been a thing that goees with the nature of that type of piece. Look forward to your next creation. !!

Hi Mark, Bill, Joe, Thanks for the nice comments.

Hi Merle
Without breaking it???? More repairs have gone on here than in a panelbeaters shop hehe. The pattern was more intricate but I lost a bit of it to damage.

I carved it with the presto air tool that scoots around...

Looks beautiful ED. A very nice job as usual. Question why has the lady not got a face as such?

[Glenn Jennings]

Tried the different wood today. The battery is to give some idea of size....

[Glenn Jennings]

[Glenn Jennings]

He Has his hand up like he is flagging down a bus so I would guess tired. hehe Nice job he is a neat little guy....

[Glenn Jennings]

Looking good so Far !! Nice job.

[Glenn Jennings]

Another nice piece. Nice that the kids get into it as well. For halloween you need a much longer knife blade with lots of blood dripping off it hehehehe....

[Glenn Jennings]

Looks like some sort of spook from a Harry potter movie hehe Certainly an interesting piece....

[Glenn Jennings]

Forest fires are terrible things. Certainly our thoughts and prayers will be going out to all these people that are affected by them. One can't help but feel sorry for all the poor animals caught up in this horror with nowhere to go as well....

[Glenn Jennings]

woodbee Carver is seriously GOOD at what he does. wonderful detail....

[Glenn Jennings]

To My mind anything goes if it will give you the desirerd effect you are looking for. Pallin is using veneer to get the effect of farm fields on a piece he is working on. The veneer would be way more time consuming I think and there might be issues fixing them to the curved wingshapes without breaking...
