Not chainsaw, but wanna be art

Been working on this piece of Avocado for a few weeks. A long way from finished but the top will be a woman in a bird costume, the sides are take offs of Inuet type masks, there is/will be a Raven head with feathers com-ming off the back of the head, nothing perfect, just stylized.







as I say, a long way from done, taking pictures of it makes me see so many things that have to change.

I would need to hollow it out, cut out the eyes and such, put lights inside, I don't have the power tools to do it. Maybe I could stop by and mess up your shop.

I sold a Gecko I made, one thing, and some Christmas cards, does that make me professional?

a shot from the back for the other side of the Raven head



I still have a vacant spot, got to think of something to fill it. Then, a lot of cleanup.

Cool. I just spent the weekend working with the New England Wood Carvers and their annual "spirit of wood" show. It's pretty cool what can be done with wood.

Hat's off, Dean.
My artistic talent is about equal to my musical talent.
