The Avenger – Wood Carving in Cherry
This is the last piece carved from wood sourced from the NW Highlands, Scotland, when we were on holiday there earlier in the year. It was good to get something a bit different my usual efforts in Elm and Alder, and whilst I think the Cherry’s nice I think I’d like to do some more in Yew which seemed to have a really nice grain and felt good to work with (see freaky tiki).
Size (H/W/D): 8.25″ / 2.5″ / 3″
Time Taken: c. 8 hours carving + finishing
The Avenger wears a permanent frown borne from years of bravely battling against those who would disturb the peace and tranquillity of the enchanted glen whence he lives … he may well wear a permanent frown but he also wears a mask to hide it. Surely the ultimate fashion accessory for any would-be super-hero.
Most recently the avenger is to be found terrorising some over ambitious and unlicensed lumberjacks who have seen fit to invade his corner of the world, fortunately for his woodland friends The Avenger knows just the trick for disabling chainsaws and is a dab hand when it comes to dulling the cutting edge of axes …
Coming soon … plant pot decor and pendants and details of our next craft fayre.
