This is the first of a series. The wood is Eucalyptus camaldulensis, River Red gum: an unsuitable material for detailed low-relief carving….but after forty or so years, I am accustomed to the challenge. Still plenty of work to do with palm chisels, miniature files (rifflers) and home-made sanding sticks. It’s a ‘bit by bit’ job: a sort of fine-tuning….
Beautiful work Chris!.
unfortunately lm missing quite a few updates, as they’re going straight to spam and lm still unable to wrangle them to be delivered correctly. l shall persist!
Thankyou Scott. Good to hear from you, and I’m glad you like the work: still in the making.
(I’m afraid my competence does not extend to computers and Spam and the like – I hope you can work it out!)
Well done Chris. I will have to come and get some lessons from you.
Bill
Greetings Bill. You are always welcome at the Boatshed – although I have an idea I would learn more about wood carving than I could teach: your wonderful carved figurines are skillfully done.
Not to mention your Scottish Smallpipe sets, which sound here every day (one set at a time)….
