Hello, I am a new member here but not new to wood carving. Since July of this year I have been working on a carved bench in Norse styles of art. I have completed the ends of bench and have gotten a good start on the backrest and the front panel. A few of the progress on the ends.. And the front panel and backrest… Some accents that I carved for the bench. The letters are the first of each of those in my family, and the J is for our last name. To the right are replicas of 19th century hinges that I will use on the seat, and some upholstery tacks that will be the type that I will use once I get to putting it together.. |

Great Work, take a look at the Viking museum in Oslo. https://www.google.ca/search?q=viking+museum+oslo&newwindow=1&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=F5lOVImwB4X9oQSesYHwCg&ved=0CEkQsAQ&biw=1600&bih=874 Scroll down and take a look at some of the carving. -- Owen, Lethbridge, Alberta |

Thanks! Since I am into maritime history I know of the Oslo museum, but have never been there, unfortunately. It is weird that my pics get cut off. But you can see all of my work here as well… https://sites.google.com/site/clayton707/sculptureportal Thanks! |

AWESOME!!! Welcome!! Great stuff, Norse and Celtic designs have always been my favorite, and so much fun to carve. I am a sculptor, but love to wood carve. I know the carving forum is not a hopping place, but when you enjoy the quiet conversation between a piece of wood and a sharp blade…what is there to discuss really. What kind of wood is that? -- " 'Truth' is like a beautiful flower, unique to each plant and to the season it blossoms ... 'Fact' is the root and leaf, allowing the plant grow and bloom again." |

Thank you! The main parts are in basswood and the accents are in walnut. |
