Some amazing wood carvings at a website

[Biker]

Was having a mooch on line whilst noshing lunch just now, mostly looking for some inspiration for a carving I have to do with the latest challenge Paul and my Brother and I have set each other. I have a piece partially finished but I'm losing interest in it and want to have a go at something else.

Anyway I googled up some images and amongst the usual stuff these amazing examples popped up AT THIS WEBSITE.

It looks like those arms and legs are all carved from the larger single piece off wood.

Some serious skills eh? Hope you enjoy these images.

Good find Biker, some amazing work there. Would like to actually see and touch the work as I think the play on visuals and textures would be pretty important. Cheers for posting GB.

Those are incredible.............I've never seen better carving than that; it'd be interesting to know what woods he uses, the fabric and the pillow with indent - stunning!

That's unbelievable. I cannot imagine the time it takes to produce work like that, and the skill...

Glad you folks are liking those pix and skills.

The wood looks to me like pitch pine or douglas fir, though I'm a carpenter by trade I'm rather weak at identifying certain woods, but the carving I'm currently doing in this challenge is on a piece of pitch pine, the grain pattern is similar to those arms and legs in those pictures.

As for the pillow yeah amazing, but it was the glove holding the chisel that brought a wow out of me, that and the draped fabric in the first images.

Anyway pleased you enjoyed seeing 'em.

Stunning carving skills.

The one that wowed me the most was the dandelion... the delicacy of the flowers is amazing

Don't know why, but those carvings remind of a painting i saw recently of the painter painting a picture of himself, painting a picture of himslf as a painter painting a picture of himself. (if that makes sense) . It looked interactive and bloody brilliant it was too
