Finished Geronimo

I finished Geronimo. I wish I would have not touched him with paint.  Well, what is done is done.  Basswood was OK, but not as nice as doing faces in cottonwood bark.

Some Finished Projects

I have been working on my studio. I wanted to make more room f when I host our carving group and to have other men over to carve. I did finish a few projects to get them off the bench and post.  I could have sanded the Green Man (from Chris Pye book) forever, so I stained it and will donate it and the cottonwood bark man to a silent auction at our church to help get our youth group to a Haiti Missions trip to HUT Outreach.

I did my first bowl. It’s in black walnut. I was pretty happy the way it turned out and my wife loved it. It was fun to do and a different genre of carving other than faces.

Memorial Day Weekend Project

Started this project with some of that amazing cottonwood bark from Canada. It carves so sweet. I am taking my time as I don’t want to mess up this great piece of bark.  I am continuing to push myself forward to learn more and get better at carving.

What are you carving?

Do you love cottonwood bark.

Cotton Wood Bark From British Columbia

I can’t wait to carve these guys.  Such amazing bark, I don’t want to waste them!
