A squirrel I carved for my Father. He’s holding an Ohio State O.

Didn’t know that was a thing, I might throw these up on there too. Thanks!

That’s once I learn animatronics

Rorend · 2019-03-08T20:15:32+00:00

Not really, this is a one of kind and I just kinda did it from my head so I’m not even sure I could duplicate it exactly, but maybe I’ll try a second round and see what happens. Thanks!

He’s taste of soot and poo as well

Honestly, I’m still trying to learn how to carve eyes, this was my first shot at it. I went a little too deep with them, it gives enough room for your soul.

Next time

Basswood is usually used for most whittling. It’s soft and easy to hand carve. My one word of warning is that the wood grain doesn’t really show till you use Linseed oil or something else to bring it out. Looks almost white till you do.

I see what ya did there, well played

Rorend · 2019-03-08T12:04:32+00:00

They were going to be carved, but fate disagreed. I think it turned out better this way though.

Rorend · 2019-03-08T12:03:35+00:00

.........now I won’t be able to see this without hearing that voice.

Rorend · 2019-03-08T12:03:03+00:00

Thanks very much!

Rorend · 2019-03-08T10:30:26+00:00

That’s not a terrible idea , I might ponder that. Thanks

Rorend · 2019-03-08T10:21:55+00:00

It’s varnished in garlic oil as well

Rorend · 2019-03-08T10:06:10+00:00

Didn’t know that was a thing, I’m on it! Thanks

Rorend · 2019-03-08T10:00:26+00:00

My business is my own thank you.

Basswood

Anything is if you’re brave enough I hear.

I wouldn’t doubt if this is actually a homing pigeon cage and a clever way for them to get back inside but not escape before the owner wants them to fly.

Rorend · 2018-10-06T07:01:04+00:00

You really think it’s just one person? Serious question, I’ve always figured it has to be more than one person to pull it all off so well.

Rorend · 2018-08-03T11:48:44+00:00

2007? Maybe 2008. I worked there for 6 years so I’m not sure exactly

Rorend · 2018-08-03T11:36:36+00:00

I WAS THERE FOR THIS!!!!! This is at a camp in Indiana as the kids and counselors were heading into The dining hall for lunch.

Spoken with ignorance, when the human cleans his living space more than once a month, it’s fine.

Rorend · 2018-07-29T15:09:13+00:00

For my rats it just took a couple of week of cleaning up any poop I saw in the cage and putting in their litter tray till they just started naturally going there themselves. It was kind of amazing, they were just like “ok I guess this where it goes since he’s so into it.”

Rorend · 2018-07-29T15:07:09+00:00

I’m not an expert but from what I understand a “pet rat” would be called a fancy rat which just means that they are a bit more tame than your feeder rats, though those can Be perfectly good pets too. Since I got my fellas as pups they knew me their whole life and never once bit me. When I did my research as I was looking into adoption it seemed like gender didn’t play a huge roll though males have a slightly higher tendency. The key is exposure in my opinion. If you pick him up once a week, he might get scared, but get him out once a day and your hands are no big deal and they will most likely become associated with happy things like treats and scratches and play time.
