'Medieval' Green Man carved bow rest
Ruddy Darter:
It's great some experienced ladies have taken your girlfriend under their wing, great way to get the basics shown properly as well as company to keep the shared interest and creativity alive 8), that would be good for me too, picking it up by myself I probably got some bad habits that slow me down and could do with ironing out.
That's another main reason I like white oak, the vivid grain swirls really add to shape and lots of complimetary shapes and images can be seen within, and a real joy to put the finish oil on and see the grain come out stronger and come to life, quite magical.
And will do, as I progress with this current project I'll post pics with how its going, I started working on the bow I need to sort out and have given myself this week to get that finished and then back on with the carving, I'm a little behind track with things so I need to press on, and with the weather as it is here archery can take a back seat for a while, so more carving time. No worries Wayne, pics will be on the way (it will help me crack on and get it done) :)

Ruddy Darter:
Thank you AndrewS,
That's nice to say, I'm happy you like my work. :)
