Wood carvings
October 13, 2013
Well it has been a full year now that I have started with carving/working with wood. I love it. There is so much that anyone can do with this beautiful medium. I have done several projects now. Including 3 wonderful walking sticks, 4 wood burning, a relief carving, and I am even thinking of learning to chip carve.
I was so happy to try competing in a couple of shows. One Great Day of Carving... sponsored by Woodcraft, in Ventura, CA. I won two 3rd place ribbons for my Hummingbirds and Roses walking stick, and the Out On A Limb relief carving. WOW, what a great learning experience.. They were judged by a CCG (California Carvers Guild) panel. I learned where I made mistakes. The second show was at the 31st Annual Ventura County Fair. I won 1st place for the Hummingbird and Roses Walking stick! I was able to ship it home to its rightful and proud owner, Pat Sisk, my Dad.
Lately, I have been busy with a couple of canes, and walking sticks for customers., I did a See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil cane in Willow, with a hand carved banana on top for the handle. It has sold for $100.00. And will be doing another for someone else this week. I am also doing a Disney's Grumpy on Diamond Willow for the Manager at Ralph's grocery store here in Ventura.
It has been a great pleasure to be able to go down to the beach on weekends and carve and meet new people...and SHOW off, and gain new friendships and customers for my work.
Folks, fans.. I know I don't blog all that often, but I will try to keep you posted with pictures at my Facebook SculpturesbyScott page.
Until the next time.. happy carving and creating for all. Peace
