 Two new projects The Captain is carved in basswood and stands 14 inches tall. Colin Partridge sent me a picture of a similar carving which inspired me to do this one. Not sure who I should give credit too. He's painted with a variety of acylic browns, oiled, sealed and waxed. The sign is carved in a 1 inch slab of birch and is 3 ft long and a 12 inches high. An Irish family in PEI run an oyster farm and a family member asked me to carve a sign as a gift. If you can see past the glossy look made with the flash, you can see celtic knots in the corners for boarders and a knot in the middle. I also reliefed a small dory and mounted some carved out oyster shells. Patrick  |

| Re: Two new projects Patric, I like them both but that sigh is really something. Was it hard to do the lettering, did you just pick that up or learn from a book. Great work thanks for posting. Feb

| Re: Two new projects Thanks everyone. Sharon, if you read any of the Ann of Green Gables books or saw the musical, it helped put PEI on the map. It's not a very big Island but its known for its tourism and red soil. Feb, the sign making is brand new for me. I read about doing letters from a magazine and had previously carved them using only a V tool. These letters are 99% gouge and a detail knife to clean up the corners. The biggest challenge on this sign were the celtic knots. Here is a better picture of the knots. |
