Default :Twilight Wolf:Charm

Ive carved alot of theses little 3/4 inch Twilight wolves,
Going on two years now and Ive carved 386 of them and still carving them.

I carve them from maple,they have 4 feet,ears,eyes,noise and a tail. I apply a nice strong silver ring in them for attacting to a charm bracelet,I then stain them which brings out thier details and apply a coat of minwax polyurethane. {this one Ive not applied the poly yet}But will.

Ive shipped them from the West Coast to NY into Canada,England and Italy.




Thanks for looking.

Forrest

P.S I know Ive shown my wolves before but some might have not seen them. So bare with me,NO!!! Keep your clothes on!! Thks'

Yes, I love your little wolves, they are as fantastic as all your other minatures. I can see why you have to ship them everywhere. Joe.

Forrest, my friend, 386 so far this year and you aren't permanently cross-eyed yet? I know I would be.

Big Ed,No thats the total from last year & this year. Most Ive ever carved in one LONG day,was 12. I carve them in several stages then stain and attact the ring,then the poly. Its a process. Had that one order for 50 for a shop in Az. But carving and posting them here on board,two people came here to see my wolves and joined us.

So in the long run the wolves have helped us all. If you go to Google,my wolves pop up there also. The 1st year,people bought my wolves and sold them on ebay and other sites,but once you have paid me,I didnt care what someone did with thier wolves. They brought alot of pleasure to younger people and adults alike. That 1st Christmas I was turning down orders by being booked in advance{thier money in hand} I re did my post,it did read this year!! Wrong!! Thanks Ed for bring this to my attention.

Thanks Ed for your neat comments and thoughts here my friend.

Forrest
