When Ms Debbie P posted a reminder to us last week regarding the free book lottery, I looked into the preview of the book and was fascinated by the detail work in it. since I have loads of time and no work in hand I thought I’d give it a go. I had a small log of teak in my workshop and this is what I have got to.
The wood is hard and dulls the tools due to the silica present.
I’m miles away from what the book shows.
This not going to be my last attempt.
Thanks Debbie, I know I cannot get the book, but it got me started.
Shall keep you guys & gals posted.

Very nice carving. Will you oil it?
I would be afraid to watch you carve. The slip of that tool could really be a mess.
I do like your work very much. I wish I was one of your nieces after seeing the gifts you made for them.

Great work, and nice detail. I like how you used the natural grain as highlighting on the cheekbone area. After seeing all the great carving on LJ, I’m getting the itch to try my hand at it. Thanks for the inspiration.
