Work in progress: a set of three olive utensils. This is all very hard scrap wood that's been hanging around for a year so there are definitely power tools involved. Last step is my favorite: a very close rubdown with cabinet scrapers, which leave a super-smooth tool-finished piece that can be oiled without any sanding at all because the scraper cuts the fibers instead of tearing them. #woodworking #carving #spoons #wip

This guy gets it: "There’s also this oily smell of AI and machine learning in the tech atmosphere, where I no longer feel relevant and I seem to have stopped caring about new tech when I noticed that 8 in 10 articles are about some new LLM or image generation model. I guess I like the smell of wood better." https://alinpanaitiu.com/blog/woodworking-escape-from-software-absurdity/

Just a couple I took in our local park the other day. You can’t beat seeing a squirrel posing on a carving of a squirrel…

Hogged out an avocado-shaped bowl from a big avo trunk. Scorp, hook knife, bowl adze, no power tools. Not pictured: a chunk of ironwood I sometimes use to whack home the adze. Datapoint: the inside of a green avocado tree smells just like avocados!

More hogging over the past few days: got the bottom reasonably flat, de-barked everything, started thinking about base and handles.

New cookie board (Nuremberg ca 1900) has some winners:

Picture 1: Hare playing a cello
Picture 2: Squirrel doing what?

I think the squirrel is whispering to a carrot but my mom says the squirrel is just kissing a tree.

A wooden board from Germany for forming cookies. Carving of A squirrel on the left, facing right. Carving on the right has horizontal lines and leaves, including a swooped leaf going above and over the squirrel.

One cookie board, carvings on each side.

My mom was kind enough to bake cookies and paint the cookies, then she took pictures of the cookies next to the carvings!

I love how she paints them. It reminds me of when I would beg her to draw clothes for my paper dolls as a kid. The outfits were never 80’s cool, but they were vibrant and creative. :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

Five cookies from the other side, top to bottom: King drinking from a cask or barrel St Nicholas on a horse carrying a tree Two birds eating something out of a basket Mystery animal eating mystery items from a mystery tree Lady sitting and spinning wool

Working on my next print for prompt monochromatic.

Making Valentines for the malacologist/beach comber in your life. These are heart cockles! They will be in different tints of the same colour.

Three heart cockles (Corculum cardissa) viewed from the side so they look like hearts, with their lined texture carved into a green vinyl Lino block. The block sits on a cutting mat with half inch grid.

I've been trying to find the "BEFORE" pictures of a few of my projects and just stumbled upon some pictures of some of my other spoons. These were all given away, but it's kind of nice to look back and see what I'd done before.

This shows a few of the wooden spoons and one wooden bowl that I had carved. The bowl, shovel and small scoop went to my daughter and grandbabies and are still being used.
This one was carved over a couple of days at a work retreat. I gave this one to a coworker.
I tried doing some kolrosing with this one, using coffee grounds.

A neighbor brought over some milo wood to play with; I roughed out a ladle and discovered a bunch of things in the not-quite-done / needs-attention pile that wanted a coat of Howard's butcher block conditioner.

Feeling very happy with the olive-wood spurtles; they are a great all-purpose tool in the kitchen and stand up well to re-finishing.

I spotted this rather wonderful bit of stone carving above a close door on Govan Road in Glasgow. It's the only close in the block of tenements to have such an adornment.

Seen on Halifax's longest highway, highway 7.
Moser River

The carving artist is Arthur Turner, and he's got bigger works nearby. I saw a full bear with a cubs, that he carved with chainsaws.

I love the expressiveness of this face on one of the early 1900s Garden Pavilions at Pollok House in Glasgow.

Pretty happy with this year's pumpkin. Today's our secret anniversary, so we took the afternoon, shirked responsibility, and played with squash.

I carved a vampire bat Jack-o-lantern this year. When my son saw my preliminary sketch he said that was exactly what he wanted on his Jack-o-lantern too. So now we have two!

Usually he draws a second design on a smaller pumpkin and I carve it, but this Hallowe’en it’s 🦇🦇🎃🎃

Happy Hallowe’en!
