I finally got four new "Bone Nose" mugs out of the kiln, here they are....I hope you enjoy! Here on my island summer has finally kicked in so that means the carving season has also arrived. here is my first warm up....thirty minute TIKI...well actually I should say hour and thirty. thirty to carve....one hour to dig the hole and lift him in place...I really wish I owned a crane. I find it alot easier to carve when you warm up! And gives me something to look at while I carve on a hardwood log that takes me three weeks instead of thirty minutes. I'm also working on a log that washed up on my local beach...I've been carving on it over the last two weeks...there is something really relaxing about carving right on the beach ...pictures of that to follow.
