An Owl in a log

Post by scotttarnor »

I wanted to carve another owl so I cut another piece of of the “firewood” I did the last owl in. I like the way it turned out. It has 1 coat of Tied & True on it so far, it seems to have caused some lifting of some of the wood fibers either that or they were laying down and I did not notice them. 1/4 EM roughing followed by 1/32 TBN and .25mm TBN, about 4 hours carve time.

Very nice, Scott! I like the effect of the darker wood on the owl's shoulder.

Liking it Scott!! :)
Especially using the weathered cambium for the spot on the feathers!
Great details!
I Knew I liked that model,
but took me halfway through first coffee, before I realized I BOUGHT that one! :oops:

Coming on 2 years and haven't carved it yet. :oops:

You sent me searching my branches/firewood Scott! :)
I always like the contrast between weathered and machined:)
NICE!
scott

Oh...Just remembered...I did play with that model, but thought that 2 of them facing opposite directions
would Kinda make a heart shape(?) but with VCP .stl restrictions I gave up as another project needed doing.
Thanks for the kick in the b*** to try again now I've learned more in almost 2 yrs!!

Thanks again for the "Kick" Scott!! :)
First time I've really played with VCP11(and a Lot to get used to),
and even though it's Really rough...It's at least doable! :)

Scott I am happy that I got you going again on this model, I love seeing your work on branches and logs!
Before I even had this one off the machine I knew what I wanted to do with the other 1/2 of this piece.
I want to cut it so the owls body breaks right in to the log with no carving and I want to cut out or remove the area in red so you see right through the piece. I have attached a photo.
Cant wait to see your double !

Wow, Scott, you were very lucky that hidden penny in the log didnt break your bit! :D :D :D

Seriously, that is an excellent carving. Looking forward the update you plan as well.

I have a chip on my shoulder....several more in my hair and lots more all over my shop floor.

Aah Scott.
Confused me for a second until I looked at very first pic at the top,
and see what looks like the other "half"(?),
and saw how straight the back of finished one was(bandsawed??).
I looks a bit thick from the pic.
Are you going to saw again(leaving you with a double live edge blank)?

The first one looks like it was cut on a flat plane?
Are you going to cut the second one the same,
or carve on the "round" like you and Bill were doing a while back?
(I was just thinking you might get more "brown" that way)

Looking forward to seeing your second one as well Scott! :)
scott

Oh...May try double sized for this piece marked with arrow, lined up with crotch figure(after trimming the split for right alignment). At dawn it looked like a good fit.
Early days yet. :)

Scott, I did cut it in half on the band saw. The first piece that I cut is right about 2”, the remaining is about 2 1/2”. The remaining one has more curve to it so that should reflect more in the model when completed.
I did add the profile of the first one with the moulding tool path, I added a photo that shows the steps of the roughing tool path that I missed removing (? Why did I miss them). Also is a profile shot of the piece, you can see it’s pretty flat which is why I believe the curve of the model is not so visible. The second one should really show it and hopefully I pick up more brown(cambium?).

Aah...I see the curve now:)

2.5" is good. It looked thicker to me.

Thanks for the pics and inspiration Scott:)
