New Carver...

Aloha-
It has been quite awhile since I posted here. I have been admiring the many talented folks and their work for a long time. This past June I decided I would finally buy some chisels. The one on the right was my first full piece. The blue one was number 2.

Heres a not so great pic of number 3

These are some pendants that I carved from a Broomstick. They are about 2 inches long

Nice designs ChefMike. Keep em coming and welcome to TC.

Great job. I really like that Bali hai guy. Now I think brooms are cool.
Keep posting and welcome to TC!

Hi ChefMike, welcome back to TC
Tiki nr.3 reminds me of Critters with the teeth and all
Great stuff, keep 'em comin'

OMG....I want a Bali Hai Guy!!! You've got a PM. :D

Kool man. #1 is my fave though. More!

Welcome back ChefMike.

And welcome to the carving addiction, it is a lot of fun isn't it. Thanks for posting.

Thanks all, for the responses. I am enjoying this immensely.It is a great way to relax.

Hey ChefM,

That's a pretty cool idea on the broom handle carvings....it would be fun to try and do one in which you leave the broom attached. Kind of the "everyday objects to art thing"...the Bali Hai Guy rocks!

Heres a fountain that I finished a while back... he was a huge chunk of Sycamore.
