Thank's for the comp'! -Eric 21, Merci voisin! :wink: -Thank you BigT! Right now it is morning, noon and night tiki... :P -Laojia like when GROG like. :D -Thank you Surfin', indeed, another "boner" on TC.

Thank you CC! I'm sure you gonna find good sensation with bone carving. Dont forget to share your progress working! :D Also thank you Sensei carver! The toolbox has served this weekend (see below) and curved knives are not ready to be ranked ... :wink: Keep cool Bennno, you gonna meet God in few week in Belgium. :roll: :lol: Yes coconutzo, I've made this tools myself. The cutting angle is enough obtuse to "fit" into the bone with thin chips. For the moment the cut is good and I did it to be easy to sharpening. I use all the same a flexible shaft to draft and rough the work, the knives are then used to clean surfaces, finishing détails and carving concave areas. If you're interested, I can see to do for yourself or for others. I'll think to find a good price. As promising somme pics of the weekend event in Germany: The Tiki Tribe stand: The Tiki Tribe banner: Close up: The most clean stand of the event: Seb' Tikiller at work: Akuae trying to finish a tiny Moai for a customer: Product of the day: With the carvers: More pics on the Tiki tribe thread in "other event" forum Have a nice day!

Week update! Thank you CC! We often get the impression that the finish is ungrateful to achieve but it always bears fruit. Thank's again. Thank's for kind word Rhys. I just try to find another sensation that wood ... and by dint of thinking I might try to scratch the rock one of these days. Have a nice austral summer, and don't forget to clean the workshop, you have a visit from old europe soon... :roll: Thank you Tikilizard! Yeah Surfin'! Not! Not a museum piece! He is all new! Not even dust over... Thank you Tang master! :wink: Also thank you Tikigodz! "Wise and content" ... Like a man in his tikibog :D ... Thank you Craig! Also thank you Clarita! It is true that this makes these beautiful plum trees ... I promised my wife to wait long before carving! Thank you Amate! It was carved from a birch branch. It has a nice crack from behind but I think it goes well anyway. Random pics of the last works finished: First, a pink ivory hei tiki: Some quick carving, the different mood of tiki bob: My first twisted bone finally monted with a tiny hei matau: And finally two twisted bone pendant. The first I made, on the left, have a mistake on the design and a little crack behind, the second is a little better: If the sun goes down here, he must also rise up somewhere... J. |

Hi everybody! A lil' update: Wplugger, thank's for the comment. I've always two or three project on the same time, large or small. That way I pass from one to another when the inspiration or technical problem stopped me. Some things need to mature to continue... There are also, I borrowed a chainsaw to my work, I take a morning to make several rough form, and I will take several weeks (month!) to finish everything that there is. Hey ! BenZ! Proud to make my mentor proud! Thank you for support '" class A sensei"! :wink: Thank you too Conga, your eyes are everywhere, this fisherman god is one of a series of three that is not finished yet. Lot of work on this tiny maori panel, one day I would see the end... Glad you like! Thank you Dave! Salut Eric! Ben avec la tronçonneuse pour l'entre jambes... C'est un peu dangereux mais bon... Merci en tout cas! Yubaba, thank you for the comp'! It's my first attempt in bone carving, I'm a beginner in this art. Next event in the program may be in Metz before Christmas or so in Paris in spring... Stay tuned! Some pics: Two grenadill pendant almost forgotten in the corner of the desk, finally lashing: Maori warrior mask Tiny Hei matau Almost finished (yesterday evening at 9 p.m):
And what I have to finish quickly: After I will attack the cargo that I am fetching yesterday
Thank's for looking! Jérôme. |
