Camping

[Hawk]

Well, we are on our first extended camping trip in our new to us motorhome.  As I'm still searching for a scrollsaw that is a bit more portable than my Delta P-20 I picked up some woodcarving tools to give that a go. Turns out I'm really not a woodcarving  as a backup I also brought along a segmentation piece I'm working on to work on basic shaping of the pieces. It's a Judy Gale Robert's pattern. I started this this past winter and with lumber prices being what they are I made a blank fron 1 x 3 pine straps I had left over from a home project last summer.

This is where I'm at so far. Sitting at the campsite, making sawdust, under the awning is pretty relaxing. I'm using  a Dremel with sanding drums at 80,120 and 240 grit to get the basis shaping and will finish up at home with the flex drum.

I will be using acrylics to give this color, extremely lite coats as to let some grain thru.

Also a pic of my "traveling " setup.
