Woodcarving

This is Far Guys latest woodcarving.  It has been quite a project and is keeping him busy.  He is working on the Black Walnut base now and then the leaves are next. 


Each petal is carved individually out of Basswood and then they are fit together...like a big old puzzle,   I have absolutely no interest in carving flowers...but Far Guy loves to design them...and carve them...must be the challenge!

The join on these three huge flowers was very interesting.

We have MANY Doctors appointments this week...not much will be accomplished on the craft projects this week other than those I can take along in a bag.

Ufff. I dislike appointments all week! Especially during this time of the year. I'd like to avoid that weather at all costs. Watch out for those sick people hanging out in the waiting rooms!

That is simply amazing how he does the carving of those delicate petals. I wouldn't know where to start. He is very talented and obviously very patient! I hope your appointments go well and the weather cooperates.

It doesn't look possible to take wood and turn it into such a fluid shape. Great job Far Guy.

Best wishes to you during your appointments this week. Hope you don't run into bad weather for driving. We have an appointment in Milwaukee this week and snowy roads expected at the same time.....I hate winter appointments. Praying that all will be well with you two this week!
