Wood carving projects

[OLDE CUTLER]

Those are really nice, OC! I like the picture, too...the way the black on the knife works, with the black on the ducks!

I should add that the knife is a Remington rehandle in ebony.

I just finished up these three mini mallards, 2 swimmers and a preener to add to my flock.

Wow those are really nice! Very life like. I'd love to be able to carve something like that. Great painting to.

Doug, OC is a true Craftsman. He does amazing things. And you are headed in that direction.

Whittled out a simple turtle with my GEC pocket carver. This is a great little whittling knife. I will probably have to buy one more. I'm thinking a Farm and Field model when they are available.

NICE carvings everyone.

Had to put my dog to sleep yesterday. So I needed to do some carving to take my mind off things. I ended up with this. I used both of my favorite carving knives to make it. It looks better than it shows in the picture.

[doglegg]

Sorry Doug for your dog. Seems to be a part of owning one. I always did it myself up untill the last two. My wife objected and we're grown up so much around here that there is no convenient place. Oh well, enough of that kind of talk.
Good job on the flower. Your two favorites performed well.

[Steve Warden]

Sorry for your loss, Doug. Never easy to lose a loved one, two legs or four. May God bless you with His peace.

Nice flower and a sweet pair of carvers, there!

[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.

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.
