I dare say there's a bit of truth in what you say. I'm only charging around £7.50 an hour - not even skilled labour rates. But I do love it.
I'm fed up of carving the ball exteriors, though, having done ten so far and another fourteen to go.
OH MY GOD
I never realised it was like that!!!
That is amazing, yay for you. The detail on such a small place is astounding.
OH OH OH, Do us a beehive one :D him up there on the left!!!
That's a skill well worth learning then, apparently =D Does it take you a lot of time?
Also I think that you should get shots of them all, assembled and of the insides, and put them up on a web page.
I'm going to do a web page of a range of my whittlings soonish.
Yay =)
I used to do wood carving but it's been a long time, I'm afraid. I even did a nice cat once, but it's long since been fed to the fire.
Your balls are truly amazing!
I too was wondering why you were calling the flat picture a ball. It all makes sense now. I am most impressed indeed.
Excuse me - I'd like to point out that I was in fact the first person to recognise that this is "the thread that wouldn't die".
Whilst I never doubted your carving skillz, it's only when you highlight the scale of your work that the talent is underlined. For a while I thought the balls were - erm... ball-sized and thus, while not doubting the artistic merit, I thought the detail was lacking. Seeing the scale now - they are quite skillfully detailed.
Damned internet.
Right, so. Could anyone please explain to me about how big a 50p piece is? Are we talking a dime? A nickel? Perhaps even a quarter? American money here people, if you please.
An inch across, give or take a fraction.
Slightly bigger than a quarter. And with slightly more sides, obviously.
Well whittled work. Is there any of your work on display around the airevalley area?
Thankee kindly, Chris and Patch. You're much more helpful than the people I talked to about it originally, who thought for some ungodly reason that I was referring to an American 50 cent piece. (I clearly, *clearly* said 50 pence.)
So, yeah. Balls. The Eagles. Normal service being resumed and all that.
yay, you can't get rid of this thread so easy as that ...
causing a foum melt-down just to finish it off huh ?
hehehe, its ALIVE !!!
