Wood carving projects

[Doug51]

Thanks guys. I thinned the stem out a little bit think it looks better.

[doglegg]

I think so too. It looked fine before but even better now.

Terrific wood sculpting OLDE CUTLER and Doug.


From a 1934 New York newspaper.

Nothing fancy just some fun simple whittlings I've done the last couple of days.

[treefarmer]

Doug, always enjoy your carvings! Wish I had time to whittle more.

Cool Doug, those are just pleasant, relaxing projects. Very good.
Your putting that 62 to good use.

[Doug51]

Thanks guys!
Treefarmer:we just got 6' of rain. I got a little time.
Doglegg: The 62 is a whittling machine. Trying to tell myself I don't need one in orange for a spare

Might outa get one while you can. They will probably just get more expensive.

Doglegg...the enabler.
I just picked one up in the black / red micarta. It is beautiful! Much better looking, in hand, than pictures reveal. I agree, it is a great whittling knife...but gotta confess...the two smaller blades look like they could be "used up" by a prolific whittler, with much sharpening. For someone, with your talents, wouldn't be a bad idea to have a "back up". Wait...did that sound enabling?

You're doing good Doc. Some day Doug will thank us.

you two have a great day!

[Doug51]

A couple more. These turtles are a fun carve.

[Doug51]

Carved some scales into this one. Gives it some shadows and look better in person.

[doglegg]

Doug, that little carver seems to have learned it's job already. The addition of scales really set it off.

[Steve Warden]

Hey Doug! Would you mind throwin' a bit of that talent over my way?
Some mighty fine work, Sir.

[Doc B]

Nice carvings, Doug!

Good job Doug, I really enjoy your sharing your carving talent with us. I have whittled on many a walking stick but never tried to carve anything else, your giving me the urge to give it a try. I'm sorry for your loss Doug, that sure is a tough part of life, our pets hold a special place in our hearts. Thanks again buddy!

Thanks for the kind words. If I can ever be of any help to you let me know. I'm learning as I go. I really enjoy working with a pocket knife whittling/carving.
This ladybug and piece of Candy corn are a couple quick fun whittles I did yesterday. Thanks everyone else for all your kind words also. I didn't carve these with this particular Case knife but I wanted it in the picture for size comparison.

[doglegg]

Fun carvings and very knice knife.

[Doug51]

A rustic carved humming bird out of cedar with a little bit of woodburning. And my GEC 12 just for size reference and to pretty up the picture.

[Steve Warden]

I like your work, Doug.

[Doug51]

I like your work, Doug.

Thanks

[doglegg]

Doug, I've noticed that you are not only showing great carvings but great knives as well as. Really good hummingbird.

Thanks.
I tried my first time at carving out a star today. Pretty happy with it. It's 1" in size. Used my Case Seahorse whittler. It's out of basswood. I'd love to get some butternut to try and carve with.
