DIY Carved Trees
While we have carved a couple of trees before, it has been a few years. Much like riding a bike I guess. After a few minutes it started to seem more familiar.

Rustic tree carvings
Arbortech® rustic tree carvings
As recently seen on Arbortech® Youtube channel, they featured a video on carving a small tree. So I thought I’d have a crack at it. I learned pretty soon that a dry piece of pine may not be the best material for the desired effect.You May Also Like

Arbortech Turboplane Tool Review
Recently I tested out the Arbortech Turboplane power carver disc. It was my first attempt at using such a tool, so I didn’t really know what to expect. Safety equipment is mandatory for this type of woodworking.

Turkey Log Bird
Wood you believe? I find that when I need to take my mind off of the day to day things, I go into the workshop. However with no power, there’s not a lot I’d like to do with manual tools. I do have my chainsaw, so I set about creating some wood chips.

Dough Bowl
dough bowl blank The missus was spying some of the hand crafted dough bowls on one of those picture gallery web sites today. I asked her if she wanted one and while she didn’t say yes, I assume she did. I’ve never made one… but there’s always a first time. Time to crank up the chainsaw.
