Stylized carving of a Penguin

Now that’s just to good. I would have never thought of carving that penguin using the water as the stand. Great job!

Does he dance and sing, oh wait that was a different movie. Nice job Dick.

Now you’ve done it, Dick! All my scraps want to go to your house and I’ve got plenty scraps! Do you know how much that’s going to cost me? LOL.

You have a great imagination!

to have such skill
it is my dream.

That is just to my liking. Leaning toward art. The fluid and sensual lines are something that I am attracted to. I just love it.

This is a carving, but it wasn’t done with knives, or chisels. This was done mostly with my belt sander. It’s just another way of removing the wood that doesn’t look like a Penguin.

setting the penguin free via a belt sander. That’s great! ;)

Dick, one of the major nature attractions not far from where I live is the Penguin Rookery on Phillip Island. Thousands of tourists each year visit this place to watch little Penguins come in from a day’s fishing to feed their young. Here’s a picture.

I love to watch Penguins, they had them at the Como park zoo in St. Paul, MN. They put on a fascinating show with their antics.

Dick – Wonderful project! I like the smooth flowing lines. He looks a lot like the photo Don sent!

When I made this, the only picture I used was in my mind. It kind of started out as a Seal, but then I added the wings. I guess you could call it a Sealquin.

Dick – I like your Sealquin and am impressed with your ability to express your imagination in wood!

Careful Mike doesn’t sand something like that on his lap. He had bad luck with belt sanders.
