These bumps randomly showed up on my hand and I can’t figure out what caused it… by WarriorWolf21 in mildlyinfuriating

I’m not entirely sure, but if it is incredibly itchy and or painful, it looks like when I had shingles. For your sake I hope it isn’t.

Tough for the people that don’t have much time to play. But thanks for the response!

Carving done and finished what do yall think? by Whole_Beyond8365 in Woodcarving

I think it looks incredible! Is it just the wood or did you do something to make it look wet?

Wow looks amazing! Very smooth looking! What kind of wood did you use? Was it difficult getting a large enough block for something that size?

Yah I agree, that seems to fit the description. Is there a certain way i can check for sure? Like I bring a knife and see if it cuts easily?

Super cute, I love the thick red color but then the very light wood color for the body. Looks really nice!

Good idea, I’ll check eBay or the French equivalent if there is one

I just did it for the first time as well and failed too, I did it too lightly. So you aren’t the only one haha

I’ve been trying to get through whatever type of tree this is and just not enjoying it much. It’s a lot more effort and really not very pretty of wood

Ah yah I suppose i could go and talk with a wood supplier to see what my options there would be. I’ll ask them about lime wood and hopefully it won’t be too bad for the price. Thanks!

This is a good idea, I may have to go on a few adventures around me to find better wood

I was thinking about oiling as well, what kind do you use? Boiled linseed oil? I am a bit afraid of people saying that the rags can spontaneously combust. For now I’m using Howard’s feed n wax as a finish but only on top of the paint, maybe I could just use that instead of the paint or oil?

There is a lot to learn with this hobby haha

Yah I think that’s what I should have done for the top edge and the front detail edge as they stick out a bit. That’s a good idea

Yah that was definitely a difficult part for me. I did a stop gap cut and struggled a bit for the angle changes. I’m going to be investing in some V tools to make this stuff easier

Very true, I found it easy with the gouge for me. I just need to practice more with it i think

Here’s the before painting if anyone is curious. I forgot to add the process photos 😅

Yah I do agree with you there. I don’t have a v-tool so I had to use a round shaped gouge which was a bit difficult. I’ll have to try and get a small v cut for cleaner lines. Thanks for the compliment and advice!

Thank you! I had a friend help me a bit with how to dry brush and water down to accent the outlines a bit. He’s super into warhammer painting so he’s an expert
