What’s on your carving/embellishing bench?

[Ted Pelfrey]

Love the “ What’s on your lathe ?” thread. Just seeing if anyone interested in a carving / embellishing thread. I’ll start.

 

[Brian Gustin]

This would be an excellent thread to follow, I would hope it gets as popular - I'm sure there will be tons of fresh ideas that way.

 

[Ted Pelfrey]

I hope so Brian . One of my favorite parts of a club or this site is seeing others peoples work. Especially in progress.

I would love to see this thread take off. I’m not sure I should post this, but here goes.
I started this 2 years ago when I wanted to start carving bowls however I did not have the tools needed so I set it on a shelf in the shop. I have a vision of what I want it to become and acquiring some of the tools needed now.
This is a very rough at this time and way to large to start with, I have a tendency to make I first new turning styles too large.
I have pulled it down from the shelf several times over the last week or two and plan to start back on it this summer.

Thank you also for getting this thread started. Embellishment and detailing of Bowls and Hollow forms is my interest and there is some great work being produced that inspires me. I'm located in NZ, when I visited the 2002 AAW symposium and viewed the gallery I was impressed by the standard

Ted:
Thanks for starting this. I don't have anything to offer at the moment, but I am hoping for inspiration and ideas, and of course the opportunity to look at works in progress to learn more about the processes.
Cheers.

these are my last 2 carving projects. I did a footed bowl demo for our club. finished the carving after I got it home. The large one is Zebra wood. 29 1/2"x 11". Veery hard to carve that wood.
