My largest moose in the hollow sculpture

in #ocd3 years ago

Hello and good morning all,

Today I'd like to share my largest hollow sculpture I've ever created, and with a moose.

He was a bit more than 4ft tall.

Here is the log before I started it. A couple rotten spots but that's the beauty of using wood. Cut it out and replace..You'll see below

Here he is after a couple cuts as well as a start to replacing the rot.

He was close to being carved here but there was more rot to replace.

I cut that out..

And replaced it with solid wood.

A little gorilla glue and a ratchet strap did the trick.

Here he is all carved and fixed, ready for the next stage.

And finished, he sits next to what I normally get orders for, the 2ft version.
