Drawing with a chainsaw

[dicktilley20]

Heres a couple of simple carvings from a simple carver.

Good practice for saw control and positioning.

Hi Dick, Nice simple but awesome stuff there & like the wool/vinegar finish on them. I still need to try that out but may need a refresher for the recipe, getting old ya know & starting to forget things along the adventure!
Thanks, Robbin

Iron Brew

Just a plastic bottle of vinegar with some fine wire wool popped in and left for a few days, just pour some out and top up as nes.
Or you could just dip the wire wool in the vinegar and rub it on, simples!

Thanks Dick, I knew it was simple but wasn't sure? Do you find it makes any difference whether you use finer steel wools such as #000 or #0000? I have a whole package of the #0000 which is the finest & will probably never use it in my life time for other purposes?
Thanks, Robbin

The finer the wool the quicker it gets desolved into the vinegar, old iron filings, nails and I recall Bill Aslin dropping an old lamn mower engine into some old cider vinegar, scrumpy gone bad!

Good stuff!

Just been looking at flights, not a bad price, about £350.00 return.

Looking at flying out on the 22nd sep, return 29th sep, should be enough time to burn a log!

Bring some stock Brian, I will help you sell some wood!

Bring a kettle and I will bring some tea bags, an Englishman likes his teabreaks!
