Got the frog from B&Q 2 years ago 1st year the glaze came off so ended up painting it

Pig cant remember but I put boat vanish on it last year to preserve it

Here's a few i made earlier just for the fun of it there's more but i dont have photos

My space Invaders


Gumbo


This one started off as an Easter island head and ended up looking like Eric Cantona :rotfl:
The kids named him noshgobble....no idea why


This one in my favorite, took a while to carve


and finally this one which was the first i tried


and of course my anti squirrel bird feeder

Thanks for the kind comment, no i dont sell them (to be honest never considered them good enough) i carve them for fun, the detail isnt great (up close) because the base material is fairly course but its a relaxing pastime and nice to have something bespoke in the garden.

Savemoney, I really like that pig! What size is it, roughly?

Alanobrien, very artistic! What do you carve them from?

savemoney

wow thats amazing Alan, nice job there

Alan you say its rough but looks fine to me cant expect it perfect for outside use given materials you use. Think you may have a sideline there if you take it up, probably local due to weight

savemoney

I would say its around 24cm at a guess

It was just bare wood which I then vanished to protect it

No idea where it came from as it was a gift to OH from MIL

Those space invaders are fab, If your not selling care to share how you did it? (I would happily £30/40 for one of those)
