new addition to my woodspirit family

Thanks for that info, that helps me understand the process a whole lot more.
Brilliant pieces, and would love to see them candles appear one day they would be marvelous.
Nice gnarly candles perhaps even with a slight paintbrush finish to give them same character as you did with the dyes.

hi ruud,

the candlesticks could be a nice touch i will certainly bear that project in mind. there are lots of carvings out there that have been painted afterwards, and they look great. my preference is to see the natural wood even beneath anything i may apply, without losing the identity of what the carving is all about... a woodspirit, otherwise its in danger of becoming a garden gnome!

With that I agree completely, it has a certain meaning and turning the wood into candles would take away its initial meaning
though it would still be a beautiful addition to anyone's garden.
