Another present for my son. Basswood painted with acrylic and sealed with polyurethane.
Any tips on fixing a screw up when painting with black that isn’t just sanding it off?
Third photo is reference image.
They’ve got a massive sale on ending tomorrow.

Was planning on getting a new sloyd and detail knife (my first proper ones after a cheap amazon set). These look pretty cool and am wondering if I should go in this direction instead of my planned Mora 106 and KN13/FP-01 (if I can’t find a KN13).

In the middle of getting a new sloyd and detail knife (my first proper ones after a cheap amazon set). These look pretty cool and am wondering if I should go in this direction instead of my planned Mora 106 and KN13/FP-01 (if I can’t find a KN13).
Belated Mother’s Day present for my mum. Small bowl for used tea bags made from Gold Wattle finished with linseed oil.
Eucalyptus live edge pot holder. I need to invest in some planers if I want to do more flat pieces I’ve cut from stumps as it’s barely level on one side…
Hand prints of my kids done in acrylic before I sealed with linseed oil. Will this be okay to be below a hot pot or pan once the linseed has cured?
Comb made from the side of last year’s splitting stump. I think it was a kind of Eucalyptus.
Would approach slightly different if I was to make another one but otherwise, a fun little project that was well received!
Beginner carver looking to upgrade from a cheap Amazon knife set for my birthday at the end of the month. So far I’ve really enjoyed making spoons from my firewood log pile or small basswood toys for my son.
I’ve seen lots of posts discussing different brands and feeling a little overwhelmed with all of the options. Would love some recommendations for a new sloyd, detail knife and hook knife that will perform well for a long time but not break the bank too much. Also for a sharpening set potentially..
Also how does a carving axe differ from a normal hatchet?
Thanks for your help everyone!
Made Rusty from Rusty’s world, my (soon to be) 3 yr old son’s favourite YouTube series. The idea of this project is actually what inspired me to start learning how to carve wood.
I know it’s not perfect but I’m very happy with the result. I’m so excited to give this to him tomorrow!
Also sending out massive respect to the figurine carvers who paint every carving. The painting takes ages!
Included are the reference image as well as a couple WIP photos for me to look back on.

Can’t remember if it is explained how Lilith survives her ship being blown up at the end of Morningstar over Lunar?
