Two or three carvings started but still on the bench, one commission piece finished which I was very pleased with. <br />
The piece was in relief of tree leaves, flowers and birds in a chinese flavour.It is a replacement panel in a antic chinese bed. Red Cedar 55 cm x 32 cm. Very hard to take a detailed photo still in the raw state. It is off now to have the finished colours applied. Will manage a nice photo when finished.<br />
<br />
My slow carving has been due to a little ill health, holidays and arthritis creeping into the fingers.<br />
<br />
I have spent some time playing with Photoshop elements and enjoying it very much. Takes some time to wrap my head around the system.<br />
Here are two different effects applied to the same photo, A shot of the local jetty here where I live.<br />
One is coloured sketch and the other a 3D jigsaw effect.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In May, I attended a Don Powel workshop hosted by the Bribie Island Arts centre.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If anyone has the opportunity to attend a carving workshop, grab it with both hands. The experience is worth it weight in gold.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It was a relief carving workshop and I chose a female head.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My piece is in Jelutong, 230mm x 190mm x 50mm thick.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Finished with four coats of Danish oil and a smear of Traditional wax.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I enjoyed this piece, carved over two days, and am very happy with the result.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Regards</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<h2>
This is my second Greenman in this style.</h2>
<h2>
I like the nice flowing lines , and it is a satisfying piece to carve.</h2>
<h2>
Juletong is the timber used, a very bland looking wood but so, so easy to carve. The piece is 250 mm x 230 mm x 50 mm deep. Finished with 5 coats of Minwax "wipe on poly"</h2>

If I do not take photos and record details, I even forget what timber it is let alone other<br />
details.<br />
The Court Jester, my take on a Ian Norbury piece.This is Mr. Norbury's first carving <br />
in his new downloadable instruction lessons. I downloaded the first 5 lessons of a total of 15 lessons in the series.About AU$ 1.60 per lesson. Well worth it for any new carvers out there.<br />
<br />
Anyway, my jester is in Queensland Maple, 240 mm high,140 mm wide and 110 mm deep.<br />
It is finished with Minwax wipe on poly, 5 coats, and a little wax to finish off.<br />
<br />
Hope you like him<br />
<br />
Regards<br />

<br />
Kevin Rudd<br />
<br />
June is here and so is winter. It has been very cold and wet the last few days.<br />
<br />
I have completed three more in my Prime Minister series, and I will show them separately.<br />
<br />
The first is Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister of Australia 2007- 2010. The carving is 200 mm high in Jelutong and finished with danish oil,sealed with white shellac and wax. The glasses were made with thin handy wire, soldered and painted. A little trick I picked up from the Out West Carving blog .<br />
<br />

<br />
Well I finally bit the bullet, I have always had a wish to be able to carve a likeness of someone.<br />
I have tried in the past with no success, but decided to try again. This time I studied the form first<br />
instead of going gang ho and in to it.<br />
<br />
This is my interpretation of our Prime Minister Julia Gillard, The bust is in white beech approx 180 mm high and finished with danish oil, white shellac anh polish.<br />
<br />
I think this time I have reached a likeness which I think is close.<br />
<br />
Hope you can see her as well.<br />
<br />
Apologies for my bad photo's, they always appear washed out.<br />
<br />
Regards<br />
Terry<br />

I seem to keep being side tracked into home duties, like lawn and garden or it is to hot or to cold for the shed.<br />
Anyway this piece was started last October and now finished apart for the final mounting.<br />
The Skull is White Beech finished with danish oil,white shellac and wax. 250 mm high.<br />

Camphor laurel 250 x 150 x 50 mm and this is the first carving that I have framed.<br />
The frame also is camphor laurel with a light wood stain.<br />
The finish is white shellac and wax.<br />

Here is a view of the first 5 carvings to be buried in the sand this week.<br />
All in camphor laurel about 180 to 200 mm in length.<br />
The anamils are finished in boiled linseed oil and the mummy in shellac.<br />

<br />
My guy is in camphor laurel 280mm x 220mm x 100mm and finished with shellac and wax.<br />
Really enjoyed working on this piece (as I do with all carving) and I seem to have moved into this type of wall mask carving due to the availability of the thickness of timber that I have access to. It is very hard to source large blocks for in-the-round carving.<br />
<br />
This guy will now go to a gallery for display and hopefully sale.<br />
<br />
Happy Carving,<br />

This is my copy of a Don powell carving, that appeared in a issue of "Australian wood Review".<br />
Don stated that he based his carving on a gargoyle from the Boboli Gardens in Florence.<br />
For practice, I first carved a small version 120 mm high for the top of a walking staff, this gave me a feel for the subject. My gargoyle is in camphor laurel 300 mm high by 250 mm wide. I really like the color in this timber to high light the features of the gargoyle. The finish is my normal four stage process. Oil to pop the grain followed by a shellac sealer. Finished with a light coat of Crystal Clear and wax.<br />
I really enjoyed carving this piece, I hope you like him .<br />
<br />
Regards till next time<br />
<br />

Finaly have found some time to post my effort for May. I still have a walking staff under the knife to be finished and will show latter. My carving has slowed down some what after the burst after Xmas.<br />
Anyway this wall mask is my take on a medival Foot Soldier.<br />
The timber is camphor laurel 230 mm x 180 mm X 100 mm deep.<br />
Not overly happy with the way the beard turned out, seem to have lost focus there. if any one has a opinion on the beard, then please comment with some advice for me.<br />
The piece was finished with oil to pop the grain then sealed. The final coats are a spray of Crystal Clear Acrylic and wax.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
happy carving everone,<br />
Regards<br />

Our local medival festival is coming up in July and thought it was time to start putting together some items to sell. First up are a few walking staffs. three of the heads are White Beech and the fourth is Spanish Cedar. The shafts are 25mm Australian hardwood.<br />

<br />
This set was made over 8 months between November 2008 and June 2009 , but not carving full time, I had lots of rests periods. This piece was made with a fair bit passion and was donated to the Abbey Museum in Caboolture Queensland. <a href="http://www.abbeymuseum.asn.au/vi_history.htm">http://www.abbeymuseum.asn.au/vi_history.htm</a><br />
<br />
Very proud of this carving, and put it out to you people to be judged. Your comments are welcome.<br />
<br />
The board is Black bean and Silver Ash 730 mm square and each square is 84 mm <br />

The face appealed to me with such strong character showing through that I wanted to try my version of this man of history.<br />
My piece is from White Beech, my number 1 carving timber, and is 240 mm x 200 mm x 90 mm deep.<br />
Finished with Organoil Danish oil and Ubueat wax.<br />

Funny how some things can affect a person, but it is out of the system now and I can relax once again.<br />

Although I have been keeping the piece covered with wet rags and inside a plastic bag, the cracks are still opening up. When I open up in the morning all the cracks are closed up but by end of day they are back and big. Where I have carved deep, between the chin and the folded hands on her chest I thought that I had carved through the cracks,but that section is now cracking also. Will continue with the roughing out a little longer for the practice.<br />
<br />
I have been side tracked from the statue over the last week with other bits and pieces to be done. The museum runs a archaeological dig for school kids and some of the artifacts needed repair or replacing before the start of the new school year which is only a couple of weeks away. The wooden artifact do take some damage over the year the kids being a bit rough with things and the wooden artifacts suffering damage from being buried in damp sand all the time. It is a great learning curve for children to take part in a organized dig with dust pan and brush ,a sieve and having to record what ever they find in the correct way.<br />
<br />
The weather today is great so it is a great day to carve, the same as every other day.<br />
<br />
Happy Carving,<br />

<br />
The year has started with my biggist carving challenge ever. A local church/museum where I do a little voluntary work has cut down a hugh liquid amber tree growing too close to the church. They have asked me to carve a statue of Our Lady Mary to stand by the altar. A section of trunk has been selected and the balance of the tree went to the local woodworking club.<br />
I have started by asking the club to slab the trunk lengthwise through the heart and the statue will be about 850 mm high.<br />
I have been advised to work this timber green and also that it is very prone to splitting. The splitting has already started, so it is kept wrapped in wet cloth. I do hope that I can carve out the splits and complete the project.<br />
Next Thursday I will take the camera and start recording the progress.<br />
<br />
Happy Carving,<br />

I have started blogging because of following other woodcarvers' blogs and hope that by joining the community I will be inspired and learn from other carvers.<br />
<br />
I will start by showing a few of my carvings. Most of these have been done in a workshop setting under the watch eye of master carver Don Powell (<em>The Image Maker</em> ). I have benefited from Don's guidance and expert knowledge he has offered over time.<br />
<br />
.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy my work and please feel free to comment.<br />
<br />
