self made woman

the first pix is great and the next are small.
Is she chiseling out her own image? Awesome—and then blame the faults on her. Ha. good plan!!!

Pretty impressive EGA..

Very interesting piece. Carving has always eluded me, couldn’t do it to save my life.

I love it! Reminds me of Norman Rockwell’s portrait of himself painting his own portrait.

Interesting.

thanks for the comments, and miss Deb a favorite quote of mine is “Never assume the blame for anything that ya can blame on someone else, in this case it her! I did edit and put some different pictures up, yes she’s supposed to be carving herself out with a maul and chisel. All I had to do is get-er-started. Semper Fi.

Wow, I admire people who can carve.

What a cool piece, does she have any sisters?

Wish I could see things like that when I pick up wood. Real artistry.

Beautiful piece, would love to try carving some day.

EGA you have created a “fox”. Maybe that’s why I can’t carve – I look at a piece of wood and see wood – I have heard many carvers say that they look at a piece of wood and see an eagle, or a woman, or whatever. Guess I’m carver blind :-)). Good work.

Thanks all. it’s a good feeling someone get’s when compliments are made. Compare it to raising kids, every once in a while an “atta boy/girl” is needed to make up for all of the ah s009rujvm,fuir8s!!!!! Working on a cane, seen a huckleberry growing out the side of a ditch bank. The root was sticking straight out of the bank with the bush turning straight up. Dug the root out, cut it off and immediately seen an alligator in it. The body will be the handle. Semper Fi!

From those shrinking pictures her name must be Violet

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Can you please post more pics of “the self carving” woman. i showed this to my wife and her jaw dropped. I feel like I learned a great lesson from a wood masters philosophy today. I will find my piece, to find my peace. Thanks.
