This is carving I did before I started work on the Ku. It's a gift for my friend and it's the logo for his website the Careless Navigator. I didn't post any pics prior to finishing it as I didn't want him to see it before I gave it to him.
It's actually my second attempt at it also. The first one was on a smaller piece of wood and kept chipping because of all the small tight corners, so I had to discard it. I (sort of) cheated on this one and used a router on quite a lot of it so that I wouldn't have the same problem.

This is where i'm up to on the Ku. I'm only spending a few hours each weekend on it, so that's why it's taking so long. Also, every time I go to clean up a section (mouth,hands,feet) I keep changing my mind and start carving deeper. I have no idea when i'll stop, but the next time I post some pics will be when it's been sanded and stained.

And here's a gratuitous pussy shot. This is Chester thinking he's helping.
