Christmas Greetings to all my three followers!

 

Pre-Christmas Carving

These are for a Special Client (S C). Carved out of a lightweight wood so as not to weigh down the sleigh...

 

(actually Tado)

STARlings and wrens

My latest venture pre-Christmas. These will be for sale. Please enquire, if you are interested.

These wrens are about 30 mm wide.

Back to real work

More repetitive (but enjoyable) mouldings for Chatsworth House.

St Ambrose finished

Gilded bees

Beauty is in the eye of the beeholder

How to hold a bee when carving. Thanks to my older brother for the title! The St Ambrose commission draws to a close. Pics of finished carving coming soon.....

St Ambrose progresses...

Glueing the frame

Feeling my way, carving light relief

There's no CTRL Z in carving!

 

More bees

More bees, but not yet enough....and not finished. They will all have gilded abdomens.

Busy

My next project involves lots of bees and a saint.......

Cabinet Shuffle

This was completed a while ago but was commissioned for a birthday and was a secret until now. Incorporating symbols representing members of the extended family, it's always a challenge, but looking back, a pleasureable one.

Pub Monkeys

Happy New Year and Cheers! everyone. I have just said goodbye to these pub monkeys. They are on their way to sit on a shelf in a private bar. About 10 inches high, they are carved out of walnut.

Strange Fruit

Thanks to Billie Holiday for the title.

Three Hares

WMDs

  

I'm a bit worried about the authorities raiding my workshop now. If you fellows at Bletchley Park are reading my blog, please post a comment before knocking my doors down.

More Chatsworth

Progressing with mouldings for Chatsworth House. I'd like to dedicate this post to Chris Pye, very generous in sharing his carving knowledge over the internet.
