first carving

[cjswoodcrafts]

done on yellow poplar, its at top end of a walking stick,

most of it was hand carved, detailing with dremel

[Travis]

That looks great. Is it the top of the woodburned walking stick you were working on?

Travis, thanks. No, this is a new one i started on today, i have 5-8 yellow poplars that we cut down the last couple weeks,

Brett, thanks

I am thinking i am liking carving, even tho it took about 6 hours to do it, but i enjoyed it.... sad thing is, i dont get on the scroll saw (paige is her name) all that much.. i feel like im cheating on her.. lol but i do have a pattern i bought from scrollsawinspiriations of some bird house/birds ornaments.

 

Looks like i need to touch up some areas on the paint. but i likes it so far.

 

thanks again

Good job Jim.

 

I just came back from the Smokeys and saw a lot of wood carvings as we walked through Gatlinburg. The wood spirits were my favorite. My wife didn't buy any because she said, "You can do that." Ha, I'll give it a try but I've never carved a day in my life (except the turkey).
