Hello and good morning all.
Today, I'm going to try to make up for my last 2 posts, which for some reason, didn't get much feedback here.
I have a really good customer locally that works in management at the St. Jude Children's Hospital. He commissioned me to carve this St . Jude.
Here I will share the beginning and the end with a few cuts in between.
This is the blocked out stage...lightened the log enough to drag him inside.
Here is a shot with what I was using as reference.
Dragged him in and started on the details...
Here I added the flame on top of his head, along with more detailing.
Not long after, I started to paint him..using minimal paint as to not over do it.
Finished off with varnish to complete...
Then delivered him to his forever home..placed him on a stump near an angel that I previously carved for my customer.
I hope you enjoyed seeing what I saw, if so feel free to upvote and reblog. I love what I do and I'm happy to share here on Peakd. Thank you all for looking and have a great day.
Jon
