A whittle TARDIS.
The hard part of something like this is pushing through to a final product even if I'm a little unhappy with it instead of just immediately giving up as soon as I fuck up.
The OG #CarbonCaptureStorage #CCS technology. #Wood #Carving
17th Century #Oak panelling depicting biblical scenes. Seen in a fabulous hotel-in-a-castle in Yorkshire.
I wasn't the most diligent of Sunday school pupils, so I guess I missed the parable of the dude who said 'Do as I say, or the monkey gets it!'
Aus den Christbäumen der vergangenen Saison entstehen nach und nach kleine #Wölfchen. Hier wird ein ganz junges aus noch immer saftigem #Holz der #Douglasie neugierig von einer schon älteren Wölfin beschnuppert. Wilde #Kunst - mit den Wölfchen wird symbolisch etwas Wildheit in den #Wald zurück gebracht.
**Stone Carving**
Over the last couple of days, I have been watching a number of online videos demonstrating the art of letter cutting. I found the carving of serif letters and their end results particularly pleasing. I hope the techniques, expertise, and mastery that humans have developed over many centuries in this craft is not lost in the rush for automation.

@PraveenMohan
This is the worst kind of deliberately misleading von Daniken-esque self-aggrandising utter #woowoo .
People have been working stone for over two million years and carving pretty shapes out of it for fun for over two hundred thousand years.
A 950 year old intricately carved ceiling and columns are very lovely but neither surprising nor mysterious.
You insult the people who made the art and those to whom you address your video.

Mes nouvelles compagnonnes de route. Je vais pas tarder à me remettre à tailler mes bouts de bois.

Slightly conically carved

A pair of wooden pendants I've carved. One is carved oak, with dyed green veneer, the other is carved walnut. #woodcarving #woodcarver #carving #handmade #jewellery #jewelry #woodjewellery #woodwork #woodworking #craftsmanship

"New Zealand Parliament Pou"
Te Āti Awa Taranaki Whānui has named the two pou (carved posts) which flank the steps of Parliament Tupua-horo-rangi and Tupua-horo-nuku in honour of the path that Ngake and Whataitai followed when they created Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
@globalmuseum Isn’t there a history of stone carvers including self-images as hidden signatures?
This from the Senate Lobby in Canada’s Parliament buildings…
