Are you all having a great summer? I sure hope so.

Well I am starting a new carving and I have decided to handle this latest project just a little differently than I have in the past. Instead of taking progression photos along the way and saving them up until the carving is completely finished before posting them all together, I will be sharing pictures as I go along on this one so you can see what I'm up to and the fun part will be that I am not going to tell you what I am shooting for. Hopefully as I progress the details will be accurate enough to reveal the logs secret identity. I hope to be able to keep working on this fairly regularly because I am really excited about it. However, life happens and time will always be competing with my chisels so wish me luck. I hope it turns out good and that you enjoy the process.
Here's the first shot of the log. It is another sycamore log which I sealed when I got it home. In the picture you can see that I have debarked and begun to square off the ends since they both had very uneven chainsaw cuts from the tree service. Hopefully I won't hack it into an unrecognizable piece of firewood.

I once was lost............but now I'm found
