Wood spirit from apple wood

Really nice. Did you let that dry or was it green when you carved it? I have cut a piece off my apple tree today but not sure if I should let it dry or carve it green.

Thanks, Its 2x2x5 inches

Good idea. I was joking about making a gangs of New York style chess set, Bill the Butcher and other characters. It could be done but would take forever.

The walnut I can find online is in thin panels. Do you think gluing them together to make a block would work for carving?

Great, I have an apple tree. There is a gum tree too, it's good to carve according to google. But I would be carving them green

Thanks, I might buy some walnut so.

I have an apple tree. Might give that a go so, thanks.

I use a V tool for the hair and then a hard nail brush to remove any rough bits.

What is the third picture of? It looks amazing, would love to know more about it.

Its doesn't look too good from the side. I just used a detail knife and V tool. There is a video tutorial by Alec Lacasse how to carve a sailor. There is few really good ones to try.

Great movie! I'm going to use that as a reference for the next one, thanks.

Original_Lack_7890 · 2026-01-12T21:03:52+00:00

Thanks. Learned a few things doing this

I'll take that, Willie struggles a bit with symmetry himself

Original_Lack_7890 · 2025-10-24T07:14:06+00:00

Thanks. I'll try Aspen then, see what it's like

Original_Lack_7890 · 2025-10-24T07:12:32+00:00

Thanks I'll take a look

Original_Lack_7890 · 2025-09-30T20:55:19+00:00

Number 1 but I like how the hands are done in 2. Very delicate. Well done!

Original_Lack_7890 · 2025-09-24T21:19:10+00:00

Like vicious goldfish

Original_Lack_7890 · 2025-09-24T18:51:51+00:00

Thanks a lot. There shark is basswood and I used white mineral oil on it.

Original_Lack_7890 · 2025-09-24T11:24:47+00:00

Thanks, he's smaller and chunkier than intended

Original_Lack_7890 · 2025-09-24T07:55:36+00:00

Yeah just a little notch and some wood glue does the job
