Thread: Did he carve them? If so, how?

Did you carve your green man avatar?

Yes I did. I did it as an online tutorial showing what can be carved with a minimal selection of tools. I used 6 chisels and have it chronicled on my blog as well as others.
If you're interested in carving I'm currently carving 1300 ft of moulding. Yes, by hand!

It's nice, I have a green man tattoo. I did a recreational wood work course once, made some.dovetails etc, and I carved a bunny and the word love from a bit of 2"x1.5" pine using a Stanley knife as a gift for my wife. I am not good at woodwork but I do enjoy it.
The moulding should keep you busy until morning tea, off to the beach this arvo?

Amazing, where do you get your cutting tools?

I am honored to say I am currently in possession of a mycarver SR with cherry blossom scales carved in Ivory. I am in absolute awe. Unfortunately I am only a temporary possessor of this fine piece of artwork. This dude is talent personified. The words amazing and awesome are overused in this day and age, but they definitely apply here.

Over the weekend we had the privilege of seeing mycarvers work and all I can say is I was completely blown away by his level of work and skill.

You guys are too kind! Thank you very much for inviting me to the meet up. I had a ball and I encourage anyone on the board to participate in any meet you can attend. The internet is wonderful in it's ability to share photos of our work and make connections across continents. But to be able to meet people in person, press the flesh, hear words spoken not having to guess at the intonation and connect a person to an avatar cannot be denied. It completes the circle.
Oh , and souschefdude, feel free to play with my toys before sending them home. A quick strop should make short work of that beard and hopefully do it in style! The beard will grow
back but ( hopefully) the blades will be gone . Go for it.
Again , thanks to all who attended and were so gracious.

Your work is top notch. Thanks for sharing!

I saw the post on your scales and first visual impression was that it was laser cut. Very beautiful work! Your passion really shows. Congratulation on a life time of artistry. You're a truly carving artist! Double O

P.S. Don't worry about been a perfectionist, we mere mortals don't see any of the mistakes you see, we only see beauty!
