Napkin

Wow. I thought this was a post about the table, thinking it was an odd title. Obviously your “napkin” was good enough to fool me, but that might not be too hard.
Nice work!

That’s pretty good. Fooled me also.

Amazing work. I would have thought it would have taken much longer. I hope it does well at the auction, it deserves to be top honors.

Are you sure you have the right photo? This looks like a real napkin to me.

This is a really cool project. If this represents your first carving effort you have missed your calling in life.

Keep up the good work and, by all means, continue to enjoy yourself.

Glad I’m not the only one fooled. Thought it was an ‘artsy’ title for the table.
Excellent work.

Thanks guys!!! Better clear something up, its not my first carving. Just my first attempt at a napkin.

I’m gonna have to take your word for it that you are not pulling our collective leg. :-)

If that’s a wood carving, I’m just amazed.

I’m with Charlie – if it is a napkin carving – YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! Sure looks like a napkin to me though.

Like everybody else, I was fooled. How big was the wood block you carved the napkin out of? Also, maybe you can share some of the tricks involved in doing this (a blog entry maybe).

Great carving,
Alin

Alin, The napkin was about 12 to 14 inches in lenght and 8 or 10 inches deep, The fold hanging down was glued on with epoxy, the hole thing was from lumber that was 1 1/4 thick. As my time permits I’ll try and get more information on here about the process. Maybe I can do another one and take pictures as it takes place, unfortantly I did’t get any of this one as it was done. Thanks

Wow, Les! I had to look at that one long and hard. Great carving.

-- I cut it twice & it was still too short

I had missed this the first time around.

Les, that is amazing. I am truly humbled. You got skills.

Please share some more of how ya did it sometime,
Steve
