Mr WD used to do wood carving. Birds mainly. He hasn't done it for a couple of years though. He now concentrates on drawing. The photo is a bit dark i know, but this is a little wren he carved about 6 years ago. View attachment 366512
That's lovely. Mrs Manatee loves wrens, (there's a very bossy one on the allotment) and she has rather fallen for that one.
Try a 28tooth 10" tablesaw blade going 1500rpm...Word of warning, being crap at woodcarving can seriously alter your index finger print.

Thank you. I got a bit enthusiastic with the curved soon used to carve out the bowl of the spoon. I really need to have a proper lesson.There are glove that you can buy. You wear it on just one hand. It has threads of kevlar running through it to prevent the carving tools from cutting your skin and they arn't badly priced either @Hill Wimp

MY father spent most of his retirement carving and turning, a bit obsessively it has to be said. His design was original if not brilliant but his craftmanship was incredible. Items he made are a living memory of him for me and my siblings - I just found a piece he made for my mother-in-law the other day when I was helping clear her place. He enjoyed his retirement and we got something we value. What's wrong with that?Whats the point of messing around carving chuffing spoons?, I though my life was innane but this takes the biscuit.
