    Dogwood for carving?

    This is just a shot in the dark. This weekend I took down a dogwood tree in my front yard, mostly because it was not thriving (probably some blight) and had only one halfway decent branch on it. The main trunk is probably about 6 or 8 inches in diameter near the ground. After I got done...

    Stylized carving

    This is a stylized Bird of Paradise carved into a chunk of curly redwood I picked up from Kyle a while ago. I darkened the background with some Brown Mahogany Gel stain and finished it with General Seal Coat. This is my first and last time trying to carve redwood. The grain alternates between...

    Crepe Myrtyle Carving Mallet

    My brother is interested in carving and wanted a mallet. This is my first attempt, made from a crepe myrtle tree that was cut down a few hours before putting it on the lathe. This was my first time turning green wood and it was fun! The mallet is already starting to crack in one spot on the...

    Carving Tool(s) Question

    View image in gallery I have started a project to make Celtic knot trivets for family members. The first (pictured) was cut from 1/2" Brazilian cherry using a scroll saw. Celtic knots have an over-and-under look. To simply mark or burn the lines still leaves a flat appearance. In trying...

    Concave/convex shell carving

    Well I could put this in the carving section but it doesn't look like the carvers are doing much with this area of interest. Looking thru the carving forum I found a shell demonstration back in 2009. My interest in the large concave/convex shell is a starting point for my goal of building a...

    Painted Carving

    A couple of weeks ago, I asked for feedback on my first attempt at painting a carving and received some very good advice. Here is what I originally posted: It is part of a napkin holder pattern in the latest issue of Woodcarving Illustrated. I decided to tackle the whole piece. (I...

    Raleigh area carving get together?

    I have tried to drum up interest before and it didn't ever materialize, but it's been a while and I thought I would give it another shot... There have been a couple of get togethers in Charlotte that were reasonably well attended. Not real hung up on whether it's someone presenting...

    Chip Carving Patterns on a Larger Scale

    No sure if this has a name other than carving... :) But I'm trying to learn some techniques for doing larger designs in hardwoods. The closest I've seen to what I have in mind is chip carving, but what I'm wanting to do is too deep and large, and in hardwoods, so chip carving isn't...

    Short video of my carving an Ashiko Drum

    Just a short video I did of me carving the bottom groove out of an ashiko drum. The groove helps the bottom ring from slipping up... nothing exciting. I weld the ring at the end of the video, full screen it and turn the volume up to really feel the power from that welder... :) I love toys...

    relief carving patterns?

    I went to a local carvers meeting Thursday and saw some great work. http://www.capefearcarvers.org/ Enough that I caught the bug. (Like I don't have anything left to learn about furniture building or turning.) I bought a set of knives and found some Basswood. Came home and googled free...

    What style carving is this?

    We have had this antique wash stand for quite a while. We found it in an antique store in Fuquay-Varina. I believe it is chestnut. The reverse relief carving is very interesting and I was wondering if anyone knew if it was a particular style/design? Drawer detail: Door detail:

    Japanese Detail Carving Tools

    Has anyone ever purchases this set of chisels specifically? I will be using them on gourds and not necessarily on wood. In the past, I've found some such sets not up to even that light task. Finding thinner handles for small hands on gouges is a pain in the patootie...

    WIP - canvasback drake carving

    Since my shop isn't heated very well I typically try to start a project or two in the fall that I can bring into the house and finish during the winter. I haven't done much carving, just a couple shorebirds and duck smoothies, so I thought I'd attempt a more detailed project this year. I still...
