Here are a few wood spirits that I have been working on, I still need about 30 more before July and that's not counting the 30 walking sticks that I still nedd to get done. But I enjoy it.

It sounds like you're getting ready for an event of some kind.
They look terrific. Each one is very individual.

I get my wood from Alex Bisso, he has beutifull pieces.

I can usualy get one a day done if I sit down a get serious. I only carve at night. I think I have to many irons in the fire. I have been working on making my own longbow, started chainsaw carving and would like to start some wood burning. Guess I need a clone of myself. O well I enjoy it all,

Those look terrific. You really have the knack for the wood spirits. I'm just a beginner and anxious to try my hand at a walking stick spirit. But making that first cut when I'm not sure where to start is a bit tense! Keep up the great work

Well if you had seen my first ones you might change your mind. One thing that I have learnded over the time is that you can't be scared of the wood,
I use to be afraid to take of the wood but soon learned that you can always start over, learn from your mistakes and enjoy what you do.
