Latest carving

Carved this over the weekend. I got inspired by carverswoodshop on youtube. Basswood, knife carved, with powercarved dots. Wood burned for accent. I could get used to these. About 45 minutes total carving and finishing. Wife loves it. So do I. The first carving I have been pleased with as soon as it was done.

Thanks carverswoodshop, I need the inspiration

Cute and interesting. Thanks, Rick, for sharing. Just received my Razertip SK model wood burner (made for countries on 220 - 240 volts electric supply) that is packaged with 3 fixed tip pens. Itching to try something similar.

Those are cute toadstools. Good job. I like woodburning accents onto some of my carvings. It adds an interesting and artistic touch.

Good looking toadstool. The burning really did add some detail.

Thanks guys for the praise. It just shows me that may have a hidden talent in carving.

Looks sort of like a morel mushroom...oh how I miss hunting them in the woods when we lived in Nebraska, they taste so good. Your 'shroom looks cute and I understand why your wife likes it.

Neat little shroom. The woodburning is a nice touch.

SM, I'm a rabid morel hunter. One of the reasons I love living in Michigan.

Here's a few pics to jog yer memory.

What a great little piece. Small, sitdown projects are a lot of fun.

I also have to say, Man Terry, you're making me hungry!!!

Nice work Rick! Can't make up my mind whether I'm hungry or I need a smoke! Just kiddin'! The only mushrooms I eat are celophane wrapped from the supermarket!
