WOW Phil

Another stunning peice!!!

So how are you getting on with your carved gun that you posted the sideplates to a while back? You must starting to make quite a bit of headway on them now?

I'm carving a Sterling silver bracelet at the moment and that deep background removal just dosn't get any quicker!!!

Cheers

Great to have you back Mr. Phil . Wow, those lions make you feel as you are almost there ! I'll never know how you are able to get so much life like qualities to your scenes --- has to be absolute dedication to the most minute detail . Thanks for sharing these pictures ! All the best, Ken.

I totally agree, pure power, passion and perfection! I can almost feel the African bush tremble and smell the dust.

Phil,

I am also very impressed with the way you sculpted the leaves on the fences and reinforcing boss of the action. Very unique. Is that some kind of leaf native to some part of Africa?

Roger,
The leaves are slightly stylised grape vines.

Phil, these look almost identicle to the gold inlaid lions you posted a while back; do you use the same posings very often?

Phil
As a beginner it excites me. Makes me want to take a class to learn how to do it. I know its not as simple as that but its a start. Thanks.

It's the same, sometimes a good scene is too good just to use once.

Rod,
There's only one place to start and that's at the beginning, we've all done it
