'Medieval' Green Man carved bow rest
Ruddy Darter:
Thank you Zuma, timber/lumber lol ;D quite possibly,
A Chinese dragon would be cool, but I've just started a bowstand for a lady at my club. It's work in progress and the carvings are of her request. One side happens to be a dragon, albeit a Welsh style heraldic one, and on the other side the white rose of York, carved from holly that I harvested myself from the end of my road, its only roughed out but here are a couple of pics...the side pieces are yet to be started, and I have some nice thick chunks of oak to do a deep dimensional oak leaf design. The carry handle is an oak strip sandwiched between two slices of holly opposite grain and pine dowelling. (The knotwork will be undulating over and under when finished, and the rose of York has yet to be shaped,and detail and shaping on the dragon yet to be done.)
