A "towering" bark carving

[K Karver]

I have talked about harvesting bark so I thought I would share more of the things I do in bark. This is a three part piece. Church on the top and two houses underneath. Connecting stairs and other parts. Pic one is entire piece. Pic two the bottom house. Pic three is middle house. Pic four the top church. Pic five is another angle of the top two. The piece measures about 18 inches by 1.5 by 1.5. It is sprayed with Deft gloss.

Incredible! And only 1.5 inches wide? Beautifully done!

Thanks Lonnie and Marci. Now that I look at the pictures here let me say sorry for their poor quality. Not sure but I believe I need to get more light on them when I take the pics. I just remember I have a strong hallogen light in the garage. Will try to redo these.

That brings up a question. If I redo these five photos, will the edit mode let be switch out the pics for new ones? Have not tried that, anyone? Is it pretty straightforward?

Hi John,

Very nice carvings! Sounds like you hit the mother load on your other thread, I'm envious!

I haven't tried this yet in regards to editing your photo's, so it's just an opinion.

But here is what I would try. Get you new photos ready to upload.

1. Go above and click "User CP". Once there click on "Attachments" bottom of control panel.
2. A page with all your picture attachments on the various threads will come up.
   Put a check in the boxes of all the attachments that you want to remove, right side of the page. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "delete selected" button.
3. Now go back to your message that you want to replace the photos in and click "edit". Once the edit page opens, click " Go Advanced" button then click "Manage Attachments" button.
   You should be able to put your new photos into the message.

The above is what I would try, I'm not suggesting that it will actually work.

AWwwwwww John,You are stepping up big time with your neat stairs and little houses in this carving! Great work! Forrest

Super carving - love the stairs as it really draws your attention to the whole carving. If you didn't place the coin there I would have thought it was much bigger. That bark must be nice to work with.

Nice Carving!

I agree with Brian about the possible way to replace your photos.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Yes, bark is a lot of fun. If you haven't tried it, please do - at least for one thing anyway.

Thanks Brian, I will try it. However, not right away. Travel and wedding this weekend in Michigan. School is heating up - May is always VERY interesting and difficult. I am an eighth grade sponsor so I get all the end of the year, graduation from Jr High stuff to do. But I will try asap.
