Life in the country is very shall we say ...... quiet and with no money to spend on stuff I have found that I have a skill in whittling.
This first one of the thunder bastard took me about 6 hours and I used a random peice of mahogany, a very hard wood to carve and I only had 1 chisel ( and I found that in the shed when I moved in.)
so with the bluntest of chisels I created this
I was quite chuffed with this so then made one for my lovely wife
It took an hour and a half
then I decided to wait till I got some better chisels and I will be going to buy a proper set of carving chisels tomorow
so in the mean time I thought what can I do next so I "borrowed" some celotex ( builders insulation foam) and created this
Still not fully finished yet as I started a MK2 escort and a capri and I should really learn to finish one thing at a time.
what do you think then?
