Well, I have no idea where your idea originated from. This is a mystery. A doll, a ghost a weird lady?

I first thought that's a short belt until I read STROP, I knew what that was. How fun to read your posts.

Hopefully it will take shape in the days to come. Once I don’t have to go to work.

Will carve posted on 05/14/2023

Are you gonn'a quit your job to to just keep carving? Good man! Does your wife know?

I used my whole belt to make my strop. I can make 30 inch passes with the blade. Ben use to tell me make long passes not short brushes with the blade. I bet you could make a longer pass than me if you used your whole belt. Just say'n.

30 inch waist? You definitely win that one!!! I had to find a leather belt at goodwill

Ya know how you would run to a guy holding out a Yellowman cock tail? Well, that's how your lil friends would run to you with a meal worm in your hand.

A pig headdress? This is really strange. Since I'm "out of date" I may need a photo reference in the future. No matter what it is I like the deep carving. It's very interesting.

WC
Will carve posted on 05/20/2023

The headdress goes with the puppy face with floppy ears.

And the striped legs leading to his lil puppy paws.

I hope you are having as much fun carving this as I am watching. I am looking forward to what you do in the area of the eyes.

Carved that area in deep to make room for the nose to stick out

Picked up a new rotary tool that was on blowout sale at harbor freight, came with the motor, handpiece and speed control foot pedal for under 50.00

Got an IV pole to hold it.

IMG_5022

Started on the nose and cheekbones today

Taking down the mouth area as well.

I think I need an air conditioner in my garage

So hot

Lol

Started early before it got hot

At least there was a nice breeze

Poop, The sclera (white part) on the right side of the right eye chipped out when I was trying to remove the iris (color of the eye)

Funny when I got this piece of wood, I thought everything would be huge, it's still tiny

Carry on

I find it amazing that you looked at the wood and saw this trapped inside. Well done on the nose and lips too. This is a really artistic piece. You could use Elmer's wood putty to build up the chipped area. You can carve it when dry.

H
hang10tiki posted on 05/31/2023

Mike- here ya go

Will- lol, here they are

Wendy- thanks, good idea on the sclera repair. When done if it stands out I’ll see if I need to do something.

Started at 5 am

Now I have to figure out what I want to take off the bottom to make it look like the wolf head dress lays correctly and looks right

I also want to hollow out the back where the necktie is so that it’s an open area straight through to the back

Hmmmmm
