One of the great things about a pillar is you don't have to stick to one theme and can incorporate multiple things that are appealing, beautiful, or meaningful to you.
What do you think to this one from around 2021?

Making good progress here at #PowerAndPrecision. Half a day to go before the judging and auction. Wish me luck!
I'm still taking suggestions for the name of the sculpture too - drop yours in the comments..

An update from Saturday at #blockhausen. More texture and detail to come tomorrow including the spear and separate feathers. We're using exaggerated depth to define the muscles so the light catches it better.

#PowerAndPrecision in Drumheller, Canada has begun!
Each day starts with an hour-long quick carve, and the pieces get auctioned off. Day one we all made "stoppers" to line the trail into town...

I first competed in #HuskyCup in @blockhausen.erzgebirge in 2007.
These are the pieces I created over the years, and, looking back like this, I can really see my growth.
Which of these do you remember?

Finishing for the day, and only two more additions to attach tomorrow: an arm and the tail.

I've been into gaming for a LONG time, and love the Final Fantasy franchise. The Buster Sword is iconic too, so it was a great subject.
Turning it into a Christmas tree is perhaps a little off the wall, but I like it!

It's 11' in total (9' bear) which makes it life sized! They really are that big!

A quick walk around the horse & rider Michael Tamozus & I carved for #BlockhausenCup
Video of the whole thing to come later, including the pieces by Norbert Varga
It took second place with some tough competition - a great result.

I'm out and about this week working on an on-site sculpture for Braganza B&B in St Mawes. A lovely commission in a stunning location.

I don't have a name for this sculpture yet, but it's going to be a Hellenistic warrior maiden riding a dragon.
Suggestions welcome!

Once I've blocked out a sculpture, the STIHL MSA200 battery saw is brilliant for refining the shape and adding detail like fur. I'm using it here with their 043 (1.1mm) gauge 12” (30cm) carving bar.
