carvings per year

[feb]

Iwas wondering, how many of you keep track of every thing you carve. I feel like i've been carving a lot but i've only carved 4 indians 3-8x4x14 1 12x24x5 and like 2 smallcarvins and i'm working 2 small carvings and 1 Elvis 7x14x2 1/2 I'd just like to get an idea on how much other carvers our doing. Thanks

Feb,

as of today I have carved 151 1/2 carvings from Jan 2004 till now which comes out to plus or minus 33 per year. you will get faster as you go along. my first year I ended up carving about 13 carvings. now its a lot more.

I have only been carving for like six weeks and I have finished six carvings(and I use that term loosely).

I had a few months where I did not carve anything but have since gotten in the grove. Let see, 5 Santas, two cowboys, three firemen, a bear, several Flag pins, one a Texas flag, an Australian Flag, several Old Glory flags, two canes, one with and egale head, one with a wolf head. a NA bust, 10 Jayhawker pins and have several ornaments in different stages of completion, another cowboy Santa that I have cut out and roughed out, yep, that is it.

Well - I'll admit to bringing up the rear with a grand total (if I'm remembering correctly) of 1 shelf elf, 1 partially completed relief from Chris Pye's Intro to Relief Carving book, 2 partially completed woodspirit hiking sticks, 1 partially complete TomH 5 min wizard.

Notice the repeating phrase - "partially completed" - I'd like to nominate myself for the "King of incomplete carvings" award. ;-)

i have 16 finished and am working number 17 in this year... (had not counted before, and now i store images in computer, so was easy to count...)

I have no idea. Some years a lot, others very few.

Well, I have no idea of how many I do, I'm sure it's a lot. Just remember.....quantity is no substitute for quality.

If I'm lucky, I'll get maybe 2 or three a year. Sometimes NONE. I am not a prolific carver.

I started on the 5th of this month. Brand new newbie, and none of the following are really good. They all have faults, but I'm learning.

Day
1) 5 minute wizard from looking at the front page of this website.
2) mortar and pestel for wife, and my mallet
3) The day I got my chisel and oilstone. Box for oilstone and letter opener with a face that looks like the peanut man.
4) knife handle waiting for blade (looks nice and fits my hand), and a woodspirit.
5) started "the guly man" that I got cut on, and has turned into a woman.

being disabled, I have nothing to do, so carving was all I did for those days. hehe

When I get my safety glove, I'll get back to it, probably getting slower as I learn each feature better. still gotta get eyes and hands... They are really messing with me.
