I carved these before I got the kerosene heater and the shop was too cold to work in.

These are amazing! How in the world did you carve them – freehand or powertools? How large are they?

Those are pretty cool. You can see that each one is a little different.

Thanks. They are about 2 1/2” tall. I band sawed the blanks a couple years ago. I recently found them again and power carved them with a Mastercarver and a Dremel. Details were added with my wife’s woodburner

These are pretty nice carvings. There are just subtle differences between each one of these. Very cool.

I’ve been eyeing the mastercarver and wondered how your experience has been with it? Do you use the reversible feature?

I’ve had the Mastercarver about 12 years and have no complaints about it. If you are going to use it to rough out your carvings or will be using really large bits I would suggest buying the heavy duty flex-shaft and a couple of the regulars as well. Nothing is more frustrating than having a flex-shaft break and then having no spares. Yes there are times when the reverse feature is a definite plus especially when carving in small places where there is a grain change in the wood. When I lived in FL the woodcarving club had a project to sell woodcarvings at one of the Malls to benefit a local children’s charity. We each carved one 12 tree ornaments a year and displayed them on a couple of artificial trees in the mall.

Cool seahorses! It must be neat to be able to carve like that. So far, I don’t have the patience. Or tools. Or time :).

Thanks for the heads up….. I’m still saving my pennies. Didn’t know to expect to go through the flex shaft so fast but good to know.
