From a Tree to a Bear

I watched as this bear was carved from a tree, with a chainsaw, firstly. Then using various chisels and tools, to get the effect of the fur.

The wood was scorched and stained for the colouration.  It seems that the carver sees something in the original piece of wood, a tree trunk in this case that encourage the figure to evolve as he works.  It was very impressive and skilful workmanship.  Birds and animals seem to be his particular choice, perhaps the natural feel of the wood, makes wildlife an obvious starting point.

  SHERE

  Posted on 28 January 2020 in Blog

  Just before Christmas, I spent a weekend in Guildford, Surrey which was very nice.
  
  I got to do some Christmas shopping and while there we visited Shere, a small village not far from Guildford.

  Nowhere to go

  Posted on 27 March 2019 in Blog

  Flying in winter season can be quite challenging, but sometimes destiny can exceed all expectations. Coming back from Toronto to Brazil a month ago things looked smooth at first sight; I went through immigration, customs and was relaxing in the lounge waiting for a connecting flight to the USA.
