Steemit screech owl swooping

in #artzone6 years ago

I made some time today to get some pictures together and create this post. Just a couple progress photos and a quick carve owl, nothing special but I haven't been to post as much lately. It's been busy at the shop.

Here is my creation right before varnish:

10 minutes into it. All saw

After some refining...

Torched...

Spray painted him completely black...

Sanded the char off most of it, kind of like raising the grain. Also started on the eyes.

image
All finished...

Another angle..

I did get some varnish on him as well, thought I'd display it with my Steemit sign to finish off the post.

I swear my grandparents had a similar carving in their house when I was growing up. Yours is so much better than the one I remember. I love the effect the torch causes, and those eyes. Wow, you are a true artist. Great work!

@randomwanderings wow thank you so much, I can add that the chainsaw, or chainsaw carving rather saved me from a dark time and that I was homeless when I started. Built what I have today with nothing but hard work and a chainsaw. I knew my fate was sealed the moment I picked that machine up for the first time. 10 years now and going strong...no regrets...thanks again
