Finally, after many months of stop and start I've finished this piece of carving. Mushrooms carved into a beautiful slice of acacia wood I found in the forest. I love the way the colours change as it gets towards the bark and I chose a natural subject which I hope complements the form of the wood. I waxed the mushrooms and the surround with a clear wax but tried to keep background unwaxed as a contrast. Photo by the talented Wavepanther71.

This is a beautiful piece of relief carving, very nicely created all around, your choice of wood brings out your talent!

Thank you, thats very kind! I still feel very much a beginner, but I know that I learn with each piece. I,m trying to do a hare in relief now, much more tricky. I,ll post it up whenever I finish it! I do admire your work, especially the faces carved into branches and I would love to come across one of your houses in the woods! Wishing you well, stay in touch! :}

Its true you don't see much wood sculpture on DA but it does take a long time. (I thought you meant finally something decent from me!) Hope thats not the case and you enjoy the rest of my gallery too.

yeah,I was saying for dA in general,
you do have a nice gallery,and I know how hard it is to work in wood,
I am currently educating myself for being a sculptor.

I'm pretty much self taught too, I did a one week course which was useful but not essential, the best thing is to keep experimenting, I'd like to work much bigger but no one trusts me with a chainsaw ;>
