My latest carving
Feb 16, 2017 18:53:16 #
Hi QA! First let me say welcome to the site!! I have a pretty nice shop to work in. I can build just about any thing in it. But I love to carve the most. My Grandfather started teaching me when I was 6 or 7 years old.

Erv, very nice carving.
I do woodwork, mostly turnings, and I've always admired people who have the skill to do free-form woodwork like carving.
You are right about working in the shop being therapeutic. Keep it up.

Thank you my friend. I still have to be little careful with the knife. My meds I am on make my blood pretty thin.:):)

LOL! She has 3 or 4 I have had done for a few months now. But I will bug her little to get them done.:):) We have a new Grandson coming this month. So it might be a while. She is going down for a few weeks to love him up.:):)

Another little masterpiece Erv; well done. You've probably answered this previously but I'm wondering what you do with all these carvings?

I started on this one a few months ago. I just finish it this last weekend. This little guy always looked in the kitchen window so I took a picture of him. And this is his carving.:) I turned the bottom half and then carved him. I put a coat of white on him and Janny is going to give me a paint job one of these days.:)
Wow! That is really super!

You are so gifted,Erv. The white looks like alabaster altho' I'm certain Janny will do something beautiful and artistic. I'm thrilled to see you carving again. And be careful with those sharp knives!

Thank you Paul! Well most of them are all around the house. And I give a lot of the ones Janny doesn't like away to folks.:) I have shelves I made in the house and they are full of them. And the shop is full of them too.:) One of these days I might try to sell some of them.:)

Thank you Carla!!! Yes I have to be very safe with the knives. I am still an meds that make my blood thin. Janny will make it come to life for sure. But it might be a while before she gets to it. We are getting another Grandson here soon. So she will be down with the kids helping them.:):)
