Thanks Merle, woodcraft is where I saw this one also. I might try it as well, even though I have other tools....

Does anyone have have an opinion on the WeeCheer mini rechargeable power carver, is there a reason to get one if you have a dremel or a foredom?

Back in May my wife’s dog of 17 yrs passed away. Needless to say she was devastated. I carved this as a memorial for her. I had a few challenging moments but am pleased with the outcome. Mounted on a piece of walnut....

I try to learn something from every carving. That's what I learned from this one, not to even put them in until I'm done with the power carving. I'm going to try some nail polish as others have mentioned....

I’m Working on dog with glass eyes inserted. I guess I’ve either bumped one eye with my foredom bit or sand paper. I’ve got a couple of small scratches in the center of one eye. Any suggestions on maybe buffing that out? I really hate to think about taking that eye out....

Thanks guys. JoePaul, if you’ve never used something similar you will like it. I knew I wasn’t coming up with anything new, but glad it might help you....

I thought I would share this with y’all. It might help you if you decide to make you one. I was carving some comfort birds and smaller carvings like ornaments. When it came time to put a finish on them I was always trying to find a safe place to set them during the drying process. I first made a small...

I wasn’t sure if this was the right place to post this or in the business forum. I figure most of you are more familiar with Santa carvings, so here I am. I am carving these Santa ornaments for a craft show. Ive never done any craft shows before and have only sold a few larger commissioned pieces...

Thanks guys. I should be able to find what I need from these places. I appreciate the advice....

im carving some dogs and wanting to put in glass eyes, or something similar. I know there are are suppliers for fish and bird eyes, but what can I use for dogs? Some dogs eyes are more like humans and have color to them.

Thanks

Thanks Merle. I’ve done both ways but when cut the head off I have a hard time covering up the cut line. Maybe I just need more practice....

[cedarshavings]

i was wondering how do most of you turn your bird’s head on your carvings. Do you cut your pattern with the head turned or do you cut out the bird looking straight and then cut off the head and reposition it? If you cut it off how do you disguise the saw cut line?...

[cedarshavings]

I've been carving a while and like to make my own patterns. I still have problems with drawing out full body patterns, of course it doesn't help that I don't draw very well. I can usually find an image online that is close to what I want, but if I need an arm or leg in a particular position that is...

Thanks. I went ahead and got the Rikon 10-326. I love it so far....

Does anyone remember what issue had an article about carving a bust of a dog? I think it was a Collie. I can’t remember if it even might have been a picture of a contest entry....
