Carving
 

this is my art project for school. a wooden pollock. its basswood, i just cut it out on the bandsaw.:D i think its gunna take a while till it turns into a fish. its a foot long.

picture........

Great idea for a project....did you draw or trace it - are plugs not good artsy enough for the teacher :eek: maybe it's just me - or the pic - but it looks a foot THICK too :D :smash:

Wish I'd thought of that for art class, all I carved was a rabbit and my finger. Your pollack shows promise already.

Nice.... I was at lowes the othe day an I saw a dremel knock off tool.They had pic's with all these cool carvings Decoys an birds an fish all kinds of stuff looked really cool u could see alot of detail..they used these little ball cutters I mean little with 1/16 an smaller heads looked like somethig u could use...I bett a finishing nail in a dremel would make a fine cutter.Do the scales an all.practice on some other scraps first an darw it all in good with pencil like u got.Looks like fun I like to see ur work in the stage of progress.If ur gonna do something do it right.I heard that a million times as a Kid....Good luck.

Thats a cool project. You have to have a steady hand to use the dremel to carve with.

Great job man :kewl:

Thats a neat project. Keep us posted on your progress. I carved a whale out of plaster/ceramic? back in high school. Took MANY hours and then i broke the tail off.
This sounds like a lot more fun. Basswood is great carving wood.

Ed is really good I have some of his videos, someday someday, I'll get that good with the power tool and airbrush

im bringing in my knock off dremel tommorow.
i love working with wood, this is fun. just an extra 45 mins a day playing with wood and tools and getting a grade for it:D

i drew the fish on theyre from a reference picture of a pollock.

thats pissa.
i got a nice dremmel if you want to use it. it's got the three foot hand held arm on it, works very nice.
