Cheers. I've done some more tonight, but no pic - I've run out of Danish Oil.

 

Well stop drinking it all, then.

 

It's harmful, so I'd have a terrible end.






































....But a lovely finish! (Brrrmmm -tissch!)

 

evening bubba.....

is danish, sorry daniiiiiiissssssssshhhhh oil much better than linseed oil ?

 

It's better for oak and some oily woods. Linseed oil takes longer to dry, I think.

 

a very factual reply I fank you...

so with your new found spare time are you going to be
a) knocking out a few more of these dino's
b) carving a voodoo doll of webby
or
c)..............

 

I daren't post any other kind of reply at the moment, Swiss.

 

bubba, you can post what you hell you like mate, we wouldnt expect anything else, in fact we would disappointed if you didnt

not hijacking this thread, but like chipsngravy, you are being sorely missed

 

I've only got one more strike before I'm out. You may love what's happened but I find it stifling and threatening. Style thoroughly cramped, ta.

 

you have posted on the badge thread so you will have one soon, are you going to use it?

 

No, I haven't.

 

who said I loved what happened
it is better I must concede, just not the same without your victor meldrew personality .. and threatening ??? give over you big ponce !!

and look at it this way, if you get in before manda, you can spout off loads of things which she cant see heaven sent opportunity

 

sorry, my mistake, it was Manda

 

Very impressive. I've always preferred working with metal but this makes me want to pick up the chisels. Awe-inspiring.

Please keep the updates coming.

 

Not taking up the offer of a **** style arm band then?


Good for you. I admire your stance.

 

Bubba , I think you'l find that none of us are 'loving whats happening' , but theres been changes in the hutch for whatever reason that webby sees fit. I fully undertand your reasons for not wanting to have the bling *sorry*, Badge but its your decision.
general consensus is that the hutch in whichever guise be it normal or super, is now a livelier and more happy place to be ..
For once, just swallow your god-damn pride, bit the frikkin bullet and shake hands..

you know it makes sense

 

This is a thread about chipping away at a bit of oak.

 

well ex squuueeeze me ..

*clicks heels , walks away..*

 

and a good bit of chipping it has been too Bubba

Is there much more left to do on it now?

 

I enjoyed this thread

 

I enjoyed that SN era....

when we could.. err.. 'discuss things' without too many bad consequences...

 

I'm piddling about with surface detail, now, simply because I can't decide whether to carve straight through in the mouth area and do the teeth completely in the round, or whether to leave some wood at the rear to keep the dark contrast that allows the teeth to be seen clearly.

There's still a fair bit of whittling to do.

 

UB, how very dare you
You've said some downright nasty things in this thread, and you know it.
There is a difference between constructive criticism and rudeness

 

Good, will the wood be capable of supporting itself if you do carve straight through in the mouth area? Wasnt that where the big knot was?

Has being away from it for a week, not brought you back to it with a clearer final view to how it will be finished ?

Still its damn impressive

 

Absolutely. If I carved right through and stood on the nose end, I reckon it would still support my 15 1/2 stone weight.

 

you ate all the pimletts ?

 

Bubba I like it the way it is

I hope I'll see it in the flesh one day soon

 

I can't bring it to see you, we'll be overloaded with kebobs.

 

Ooh yeah


Still kebobs *are* more important
