Barn Owl new design

[Claymore]

Hi Everyone,

Well I have finally got back in the workshop and think it will do me good too, just like to thank everyone for their kind comments when Ruth died in January and it was a big shock as you might guess but i have been trying to keep busy and here's the first one of a few new designs planned for this year. Its life sized made from Beech/Sycamore/Oak and I used bleach on the Sycamore face to whiten it and seems to work nice but i have tried the bleach kit on some pine and it was terrible so worth testing before using on a project.

Hope ya like it and great to be back butchering wood.

Cheers

Brian

my sympathies to you on the passing of your partner. My wife and I have been together going on 54 years life would be so empty for me

Good to have hobby, working with wood is calming,

Nice job on the owl

Condolences on your loss this past year.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful art work. It looks like a lot of cutting. Fantastic art for sure.
