First carve ever. Learned a lot, pretty happy with the result.
Just finished this belly-balancing cherry platypus. All hand tools with the exception of initial roughing out on the bandsaw.
Girlfriend was supposed to be going to zanzibar but coronavirus got in the way. Made these for her to compensate
Any ideas how to carve a tiki? Lol. I want to try something a bit harder.
Made my first carving with a pocket knife on a backpacking trip. How do I clean it and finish it?
Help a woodcarvers grandson!!
Chainsaw carvers. How much do you charge for an exhibition at a fair or festival?

Its a little bit grubby because my hands were dirty while carving it. Is there any way to clean it without ruining it? After I clean it I want to finish it, but I could not find walnut oil at any stores. Will linseed oil work instead?

Help a woodcarvers grandson!!

Hello everyone! I'm hoping some of you can help me!!

My family is doing a gift exchange and I received my grandfather!

He's a master Carver, and travels around helping judge competitions, etc. Our dollar limit is supposed to be $50, but that's more of a "guideline" 😏

I know he has dang near every tool possible, and he typically makes what he doesnt have lol. I was hoping for a good gift idea for the experienced Carver that has everything. I've been trying to find a good book that has other masterworks done that he could get ideas from or anything like that but I'm struggling.

Any help would be a huge help! Thanks in advance!!
