Sheila came over for a woodcarving session with Far Guy. They both like to carve flowers.
They are working on some roses, Sheila brought roses for inspiration. That circular block of wood in front of Far Guy will be a rose eventually.
They made good progress. I joined them but instead of carving I finished a crochet project.

You are up and posting early!
Looks like very intricate work.
Amazing talent.
I look forward to seeing your finished project. :-)
I love this!!! :-D
That is beautiful work. I went to one class for this and enjoyed it so much. However, I never took it up.
Fascinating! I zoomed in on the photos to see how the cylinders are being carved.
Oh, wow!!! They are just exquisite!
AMAZING talent! Just amazing!
That is mind boggling to me. How you can get such a beautiful rose out of a piece of wood! Amazing.
Blessings,
Betsy
I like the photo of busy hands! O
Wood carvers amaze me... they create such beautiful art. Glad Far Guy was feeling well enough to carve. What crochet project did you finish?
The talent it must take to carve delicate flowers just blows me away! I like your crochet project too. Is that cute hat for a young one?
Nice that Far Guy had someone to carve along with. To non-carvers the process seems quite amazing ( the block of wood to the rose stage).
The thought that the block of wood becomes a rose is amazing to me. Enjoy!
Oh wow! I can hardly wait to see what FarGuy comes up with. He is so talented. That takes great patience and a steady hand. :)
Work sessions are fun. When I taught adult ed the classes ended up being like that but I still had to play the role of the teacher. I didn't get to work. The roses look complicated. I use to make roses in frosting when I was a kid.
To see a rose in a block of wood is a wondrous thing.
Looks like something I woukd not be able to do
Cool roses! I used to carve with chisels and dremel tools. ( WeChreer, chainsaw...Foredom...Stuff like that.) I did not do much with a knife though.

chainsaw I am impressed:)
Those flowers always turn out so beautifully. What a talent to be able to do that and how neat that there is a group that gets together to carve these beautiful flowers and other works of art. You both have much talent! Blessings to you both.
Those carvings are exquisite. I met a man once who used to whittle things - he said it was very relaxing and satisfying working wood with your hands.
I can't imagine turning that piece of wood into a beautiful rose. That's amazing!
Sounds like a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
Wood carving is something I don't think I would have the patience for plus I would go through a lot of wood! Not like crochet where I can tear it out and start over! :) I really admire you all!
