Popular Post Grandpadave52 Posted January 20, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Saw this on another site today. Not my subject matter (snake or mouse) but the patience, detail, techniques, craftsmanship and vision is something to behold plus it has dog cameos.

Gene Howe Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Wow, Dave. That guy is a master of power carving and, painting. His attention to detail is beyond awesome. Truly amazing. Plus, his pup ain't too shabby, neither. Thanks Dave. Cal, HARO50 and Grandpadave52 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morris Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I love this, great find Dave! Watched it completely through, an American treasure, and a fine display of American Folk Art. A man carving a stick, influenced by his local surroundings in nature. I am in awe of the patience a person must possess to create this. I have a question, why the glue on the eyes and ears early on in the process? Grandpadave52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta' start working on our Aussie...she's pretty smart, but doesn't like to give up things she has even for a treat. Tri-colors are absolutely beautiful animals but way out of my budget...Just saw some tri-pups for sale...$1000 for males, $1200 for females.

Just sitting in his chair under a canopy, with his dog, void of a shop full of high $$ tools or material. I can watch these kind of craftsmen for hours.

Arbortech bits and discs and that Fordom tool ain't 'zackly cheap. But admittedly, less expensive than the array of tools a lot of us use. Betcha he has a fairly well equipped shop somewhere. He didn't make those initial relief cuts with a Dremel. Artie, p_toad, John Morris and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallpatch Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Gene it wasn't the tool that did the carving, it was the bits.. The Dremel is no different than what he was holding in his hand. John he was preventing from having problems later for those pieces were very small so he was strengthening the wood. What he did was save having to look for those small pieces down there on the ground and glue them back in place. p_toad, Artie, Grandpadave52 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
