We had us a mini Rendezvous

Bob's Birds · #1 07-19-2007, 10:43 PM

Colin and I got invited out to my friend ST's place, where he cleared some brush away from some great cedars along the road at his place and we carved us some tree spirits. They really wanted to get out of the wood because after about 2 hours Colin and I had ours looking out at the passing cars and talking to people stopping by to chat. St had to finish after lunch, but it was his 1st with his new Redmax. St was back down there today putting a coat of stain on them. Maybe Colin will submit some more pics when he gets his PC back on line.

Oh boy that looks like fun! Wonderful woodspirits and I know many people will enjoy them by the roadside. How did he like the Redmax. That is the next saw I want to get.

After 2 tanks of gas thru the Redmax he thinks it is alright. All 3 carvings were done with 3200's. What you see are 3 happy customers.
What got me about the carvings were the number of people stopping by to say hello and tell us what a great job we were doing.

Here are some more pictures of the carvings from begining to end. Bob was right we had so much fun that we are thinking of going out again today to do some more. Before you know it if someone doesnt stop us when ever you come to Canada all you will see is tree's with woodspirits in them.

Must have been a sight to see by the looks of the spirits. Really nice work gentlemen.

Welcome to the board ST.

Here is a picture after ST finished up the staining. Great day of carving and I waiting for Colin to show up to head out to wilds of Medonte to give it another go. It is a good thing ST has 100 acres of bush,

Were these spirits carved in live trees? If so, in your experience, Does the tree recover from this and live on?

Yes the tree will live on the wound (Carving) will heal and over time it will engulf the carving almost completly but can be recovered again with very little problem. As long as you dont girdle the tree they recover quite nicley. Stay tuned for day two at ST wood lot.
