Mark Grzybowski Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 This is great, I didn't know that there were any carving communities around. My thanks to Jim Kelso for posting on the bladesmith's forum. I'm not really sure what all to say. I have been carving off and on for quite a while, lost track somewhere. I use it for an artistic release and a spiritual recentering. Unfortunately I've been away from it for far too long now, and I can feel it calling me back. If I could just make some time somewhere... I work exclusively with handtools, nothing motorized. Not that I have anything against it, I just enjoy working that way. I also tend to work with materials that aren't that easy to carve by hand. I don't plan that ahead of time, but then I don't walk away from the challenge either. Speaking of which this is a figure I carved a couple of years ago. It's carved out of bloodwood. There's still a couple of my gouges and chisels I have to repair after doing this project. I don't recall the size of it, I think it's around 10" tall. Maybe a little less.
