perfect setting for those last two carvings. Almost like they've been forgotten in time. Great carvings!

Forgot to include the newest rough out. I must be crazy to start a large project this late in the carving season. I just love to do the rough outs.

This fellow is full of all kinds of metal about 3 inches deep. This tree must have served as a fence post in his younger days. He's wrecking all my tools!!!
Mini Marq completed. 6 inches tall
More minis in different stages of completion.

Good thing about lil ones is they don't take so long.
Looks like the beginning of a chess set.
I have a metal detector but I don't use it all the time & get fooled too.
My last Tang got me good with a nail.

The guy full of metal pieces could be called the Hell Raiser.  Love the grumpy guy.

“…a piece of white pumice stone formed into the rude resemblance of a human figure…”
Wm. Monkhouse, Ships Surgeon, HMS Endeavour - October 1769
I was reading the book “Cook: Extraordinary Voyages” during my annual autumn trip to the coast last year. The journal of the ships surgeon was quoted concerning the discovery of a small idol presumed to be of religious significance due to its careful placement. While roaming the beach, I picked up a bunch of stones I discovered there. They looked like they would be relatively soft and easy to carve. Wrong!
No fine carving required here... I was going more for the vibe than technique on this one.
Thank you all for lookin' in!
