Wood carving projects

[OLDE CUTLER]

Been a while since I had made any geese, so this Canada goose mini just got finished. It is 7 1/4"beak to tail, compared next to the Kamp King knife.

Wow that's really nice! Your really good at carving and painting these. I'd love to learn more about how to carve something like this.

There are various carving books available for the mini decoys, which is what these are. I use a pattern book by Anthony Hillman on carving miniature duck decoys. This goose however is not in Hillmans book, but is a full size pattern that I reduced.

Thanks for the information. Really appreciate it and little seeing your work.

Carrot stick! I think I need to add some green hair!:-)

Green hair would top it off. Your painting is as good as your carving Doug.

Thanks Floyd! Painting isn't my favorite part of the process but it does add a little more detail to things.

Excellent! And Mr. Carrot seems to like it as well.

Another good one Doug,

[Doug51]

I think I'll call him Bob!

[Doc B]

Ha! I think you could actually use that!

[doglegg]

I think Mr. Robert turned out pretty good.

[Doug51]

Ha! I think you could actually use that!

Thought about using it! Maybe it would bring me luck!

Does anyone do Santa carvings? I really enjoy them and would love to learn from others that carve them. Thank you, John

Here's a Santa Carving I did recently

Hopefully the flag won't trigger anyone. I was recently denied entry to a contest with this because or "Racist associations of the flag." In Canada!!!!
