whimsical House

[Mark Dellinger]

Hey all,
I tried carving a whimsical out of a peice of hedge apple bark but had no luck. I found the bark to be very flaky. I don't have any cootwood bark and being a little on the impatient side waiting to get some cotten wood I tried to do one out of a 1 x 10 peice of bass wood. The pictures are not the greatest been having issues with the camera lately. I ended up painting it but if I had it to do over I would have used a stain on it instead. Any comments are always welcome.


Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark-I think it would look either way,painted one is good job. Like you said try the stain on the next one.

I agree Mark, but it looks good either way.

I think it's great, and I really like the paint on it, even better than if it were stained. Nice job.

I like it and the paint job also.Keep up the great work!

Looks good Mark ! Talk to Art Olver (Barkguy), he has some real nice cottonwood. Here is his PM http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.co...o=newpm&u=1663

Thank you all for taking the time to view my carving. I think I will try another one at some time and do the stain only.

Thanks for the comments and the help,

Mark
