With some inspiration and great advise from Aloha Station I started some small carvings.
After the first one was complete I was longing for a chainsaw, a heavy mallet, and some big- ass chisels but the second one went smoother.
Also got this basswood carving done and put a coat of Danish oil on a second.
This is a plank of basswood and will be the "Surfin' Bird
I cut through the side with a chainsaw and then used the bar as a stencil for the longboard.
Got a base roughed out for this crazy piece of plum.
One good thing about the recent stormy weather was this fallen branch of walnut. "Take a huge piece!" the homeowner told me, so I did.
