Hi Herb
Tracy Made a good job of those. Nice job they look just FINE to me. I don't know why but there is something about the artwork that I find really appealing and I just can't put my finger on why that is. It just IS....

Hi Carlo
I see what you mean by your comment . You got nice shape and form on the last 2 in the line. The centre line is a LOT better on these two as well. Well done. Some of the cuts look as if large pieces of wood have been removed. I would suggest lots of small thin cuts rather than big deep...

Tom and Merle have said it all buddy hope my first one of these little guys turns out as well ....

Hi Dionysus
Claude has given some good advice there. The thing with eyes is they can make or break a piece so take the time to get the eyes as good as you possibly can. Look forward to seeing detail on your owl. You have nailed the brick base it looks spot on. Go for it buddy...

Hi John
I would suggest carving a hole with in a bit of scrap wood and filling it with sanding dust mixed to a relatively thick paste a bit like scone dough with titebong or pva glue then see how that responds to a burn. I think it will work. You should also get a similar burn...

Hi BobL.
Nice buch of little guys!!! I like the beard detail. The painted finish and smoothness on the piece makes it look very much like copenhagen Porcelain. I like it!!

Hi Steve
So sad to hear you can't play anymore, Such a big loss when it has been such a big part of your life. I'm strictly an at home player and not that good but love guitars. I have 16 guitars two I built from scratch and 2 are complete makeovers of 1950 archtop guitars I dread they day I can't...

[Glenn Jennings]

Have to agree with Tom...

[Glenn Jennings]

Nice work they look really good. Painting is nice too.

[Glenn Jennings]

Hi Tom just love the detail you have got on this piece it just looks awesome. The painting is spot on there is nothing not to like about this piece. You can almost hear his mind ticking over as he puts the final touches to his piece....

Hi Randy
Very, very nice job, You have caught the essense of the character beautifully. Your friend will be well pleased with this I think....

[Glenn Jennings]

Off to a good start buddy as Edsays just keep at it. If you want advice on something don't be afraid to ask . you will probably be swamped with replies hehehe.

Happy carving !! And welcome to the forum....

[Glenn Jennings]

Hi Carlo,
The tree has come along nicely and is a vast improvement from the first effort!!!!! So well done that is the way to go. The thing about carving is that we ALL learn something new EVERY day. That is one of the things that makes it such fun. Seeing our skills develop is part of the thrill...

Hi Joe,
Solvol is brilliant metal polish But you need to sand down to 1000 grit before you apply it for a mirror finish.

The used microtome blades can be found on ebay for as little as US$33.60-$100 or I can ship you one for free if you don't mind paying the postage....
