Female torso carving in spalted hackberry

[lumberjackchef]

Went and cut some firewood the other day and found a pretty good log of hackberry that was let behind by the other people that cut where I do. so I carved this out of the trunk when I realised it was spalted.

Nice job, did the wife let you put it in the house?

 

[lumberjackchef]

Naw this one is for a customer. She is giving it to her husband as a present.

shall I just assume there wasn't any way to get that split a bit more centered?

 

[lumberjackchef]

Yep it just wasn't gonna work out any better any other way lol!

I'd bet it'd end up looking like a uhmm, wood pecker got a-holed of it!

also makes me think of that old joke about the old Chief checking for bees
after his "refresher' course about women.

ahhh and looking at a bit more takes me back to when I was
about 14~15, and gazing on a body or two that resembled
your work.
I'm figuring you musta had a similar experience.....
