Dragon carving
Ruddy Darter:
I got one side piece sawn out, been a little time consuming although relaxing and enjoyable, doing a little bit here and there and now feel I got in the swing of it, should get the other piece done tomorrow. The grain looks like it's going to come out groovey too, nice sweeping swirls.
(Pleased it has come out not to bad on the reverse side, should look alright with some squaring out with a chisel :))
Thought I'd update the progress...
Ruddy.
Pat B:
You're more patient than I am. Nice work.
Ruddy Darter:
Thanks Pat B,
Currently my spare time is split with other pursuits, which keeps them all enjoyable when I've had enough of one...so it's a little slow on progress, but this is the last of any major chore, save a couple of carved acorns with leaf/leaves, and the finish line is nicely in sight now :).
Ruddy.
Pat B:
Looking forward to seeing the finished work. 8)
Ruddy Darter:
I got the construction done, it breaks down into three pieces (the sides slot on and will be locked on with a dowel). (Had a few days out after pulling a back muscle at the gym... ::), all good now.)
Just got to shape the knotwork back and front and round off the bed where the bow/bows will rest, finish off the knotwork around the holly rose side, two little acorn and leaf carvings on each of the side pieces, tidy up all round then oil to finish...nice easy work to finish up with which should get done over the weekend :), I thought I'd post the progress now it's all together.
Ruddy.
