Default Greetings from Ireland

Hi All,

I recently went for a week to the Austrian Woodcarving school in the Tirol, I had done some relief carving before, mainly Celtic knot work but never anything in the round.

I though I would share some pictures of my work and one of the view from the classroom with you.

That looks great! Looks like you got a lot done in one week. Of course, I would be happy spending a week in Ireland carving also!

Hi Capt,

Welcome to the forum. Some really nice work you have done. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I would have trouble focusing on my carving if I had such a view out of my window. I would have even more difficulties focusing if you used a live model to pose for your nude torso.
