I'm stuck knowing what colour to paint the rest of my bitcoiner Cyclops....what colour should I paint the towel, trousers and trainers? He already has the bitcoin orange t shirt ....

A selection of my woodcarvings, from some of my earliest to some of my latest. Proof of work certainly pays dividends as I improve slowly and steadily.

Woodcarving of a little fella I like to call "Dr FeelGood", Really pleased with how his facial expression came out and his giant smile! Let me know what u think, and any ideas of what to carve next!

Little schnauzer dog I carved from basswood is now finished and painted.....how did I do?

Satellites fried, power grids collapsed, and digital banking systems—already fragile from decades of reckless money printing—went dark. Within hours, the world’s financial arteries clogged.

Progress report on the doggy....after copious time hand sanding it's looking smoother and more refined....any input appreciated! It isn't finished but progress and proof of work is taking place!

After the pleasing outcome of the tiny dog I carved previously, I decided to make a slightly larger one to enable me to put a little more detail into it.....what do we think so far?

Tiny Schnauzer dog woodcarving is now painted and ready to show! Measuring in at approx 1in x 1/2in, carved in basswood and finished with teak oil before painting with watered down acrylics. This carving tested my knife handling abilities that's for sure! What do u think?

Woodcarving of the sad little parka wearing man is complete and oiled, what do ya think?

After much work and practice I'm pleased to present the work so far on my latest favourite woodcarving, a little dude wearing a parka jacket )) I'm particularly happy with the facial expression (something I've been working hard on) Should I paint it? Or simply oil it?
