Carving is a good therapy when I'm bored.
54 cms height. Norwegian pine.

About 60% done.

Nice looking carving so far. Is that done with power or by hand. Carving is good therapy anytime for me.

Thanks for your input. It's a bit of both. I removed excess wood with a power saw but carved the rounded shape by chisel. The sanding was - and will continue - by hand too.

Nice looking piece so far. With my warped mind it reminds me of the table lamp in the film A Christmas Story. sorry.
