Carving Gallery

  • This was a pattern from “The Woodcarver’s Dozen” by Celina Muire.
  • Also from Woodcarver’s Dozen. I still refine it every few days.
  • From Carving Caricature Faces by Pete LeClair. Still refining, but learned a lot about layout in the process
  • Fisherman that I carved with the local carving guild over zoom. Still needs paint.
  • Rough spoon from neightbor’s aspen. I’ve since reshaped this to a swedish style from Swedish Carving Techniques by Wille Sundqvist.
  • From a pretty squirrelly piece of Box Elder. This wood is hard and has lots of reversing grain, but I keep coming back to it.
  • I deepened the bowl a bit.
  • And roughed out the underside with a hatchet.
  • A pile of spoonlike objects taking form. Really enjoying using this Julie Kalthoff carving axe.
  • Some early carvings that I wanted to rush into service so I can see how the wood acts in use. Butter knife and spatula. Aspen. Not pretty, but shaped where it counts.
A way for me to quickly add pictures of what I’m working on.
