Latest carving of Salty Dog is now complete with buttons added and oiled with boiled linseed oil. I think it looks great, what do you think? 
Latest woodcarving almost complete....a salty seaman! Really pleased with the result even if the legs went a little wrong. I've improved my ability to carve faces and eyes which is something I wanted to work on. What does everyone think? 
Two more little woodcarved fellas hot off the production line.....what colours do u think I should paint the little gonk? 
Just a simple little Gonk I'm working on )) 
Little bear woodcarving finished )) 
Would be so much easier if I had an electric saw to prepare the wood for my carvings!
The little bear woodcarving is now sanded down, and oiled to preserve the wood. Looking good I think! I added a smile, and some eye lids too, what do you think?
Cute little teddy wearing a winter scarf I whittled from 1x1x2in basswood. Tiny, and requires a lot of knife control.....video shows a small wound I caused during carving!
How does my squirrel look? Latest woodcarving finished, painted with acrylic paint. Any criticism welcome!
Which famously influential bitcoiner have I carved here? 
Little squirrel I've been working on carved from a small block of basswood. Still have sanding and more work to do but the general shape is looking nice ))

Work in progress.
Where my mind is at right now. We need divine forces to help us.

A little something I'm woodcarving from a spare block of wood. Aiming to improve the accuracy of carving features in faces. What do you think?
