Here are some pics from other carvers

Yup, I made the Dark Knight.

Here is another elephant. This time the trunk is up! Someone told me that it is good luck if the trunk is up. A bit more difficult as far as carving the trunk from the last one I carved.

Something different. A little paint to make the phoenix look like fire…

I finally got around to doing the love swans. I have pondering the idea for quite some time now.

Artistic Creations in Wood is coming up March 17 & 18, 2018 in Madison Heights, Michigan. I really enjoy this show and seeing all the local wood carving talent in the Detroit area. Stop on by and see some amazing pieces crafted by hand.  Here is a link for more details: 38th Annual Wood Carving Show

The owl has a fairly simple face, but the small details are what makes it. Most of my fanbirds do not have feet. I am trying to break away from the traditional carving. It does involve a bit more work and care, but it is worth it. The feet also provides another option for displaying.
