been working on the acoustic chair thing most of the day. heart shaped entrance? teardrop shape would be good but maybe not enough height to do it. maybe egg shaped overall with sympathetically egg shaped entrance? it is now hollow enough for me to sit inside. am hoping it will open up enough to fit two inside......hence the heart theme, or id that too corny?

oh, and the acoustics are starting to work

it a bit of a nightmare using an Arbortec in a confined space. it is really hungry for wood and rather scary!

here is Ste after 15 mins.we do it in 15 min shifts taking it in turns.anylonger is too much.

we'll get there in the end.

[APC]

sorry 'bout the previous repeat photo.... still getting to grips with photobucket

[APC]

I like the pictures by the way. I like seeing trees getting put to uses other than firewood and chip.

Ste had just suggested we make a vid for you in the morning.......a "don't try this at home, kids" type of video

hhhmmmmmm. Ste has been drinking.

Again.

[Boris]

you'd have been finished by now if you'd used a proper saw, knocked these up in a couple of hours this morning with my stihl

[woodie04]

i don't post much despite spending far too much time on here!!, but this thread deserved it, one of the most interesting i have read.

Are you the same guy selling carvings in the layby of the a369 between j19 of m5 and bristol? I have often wondered if its the same guy from Glastonbury but never stopped - next time i will do, and of course will be visiting in a few weeks!!

I whittled that out of beech wood. Jesus was a carpenter, and I just figured if you're gonna follow in someone's footsteps, who better than Christ? All right, the sun is out, the grill is hot and the pool is luke….

[laid back in the sun]

hey, nice work! how do you finish them? i bet the sanding took longer than the carving.

A short vid filmed this afternoon.

Exxxxcellent, thanx. Wish my mickey-mouse chainsaw cut as well as yours ! Defo looking forward to wandering round CN and admiring your most impressive handiwork as usual this year

Looks like that cheeky chappie Brillo stole tonight's firewood mind you

It might be asking a lot but couldn't the entrance have a 'musical' theme (maybe a shape of the 'A' or 'B Flat' note on a stave or a treble clef (not quite sure how you'd get in) but you get the general idea.
