    Default One of My Other Hobbies

    I like to do woodcarving of wildlife in the round. This is a cougar that I carved.....





    When I have time (which I don't seem to have enough of these days), this is one of the things I like to do.

    I am extremely impressed.


    I attempted wood carving about 20 years ago..worked on a Sparrow and a Junkers JU34 (Plane).

    I used my Dremel and Makita belt sander and Porter Cable hand sander.

    I did not come anywhere close to your craftsmanship.

    How do you do it ? What equipment do you use ?

    Very Nice work! My Dad was a woodcarver and enjoyed carving birds.

    Do you use a woodburner for detail?

    Thank you gents. It is hand carved using knives and chisels. Jim I did use a woodburner for some of the details. The wood is Bass and I painted using oil paints (I do oil painting as well) and then once dry I used varathane Spray varnish in a matte tone.

    Here is one of my woodburnings:



    I used to teach pyrography and carving at Lee Valley in Calgary.... I didn't teach the cougar....

    Thank you for your kind words...

    Amazing work. Do you sell them or is it just for personal enjoyment?

    I have sold and I've done commission work with the pyrography. I don't have any pieces for sale right now. And thank you Buster!
