The face of a carved wooden horse, full size, in the Dell House garden, wearing a tiara of tinsel.
Christmas decorations are starting to go up in the house, and the garden!
If you're looking for something different for a last minute presents, don't forget we do vouchers towards a stay, a murder mystery or a DellCon, for any amount.

Once I've blocked out a sculpture, the STIHL MSA200 battery saw is brilliant for refining the shape and adding detail like fur. I'm using it here with their 043 (1.1mm) gauge 12” (30cm) carving bar.

Couldn't let #NationalHobbitDay pass without re-sharing this #Frodo sculpture (me) and Hobbit door (Paul Ed Sculpts ) installed earlier this year.
Which #LOTR character would you comission?

I've been into gaming for a LONG time, and love the Final Fantasy franchise. The Buster Sword is iconic too, so it was a great subject.
Turning it into a Christmas tree is perhaps a little off the wall, but I like it!

A little teaser for something I'll be working on for the next couple of days.

A longer look at the relief carved dancer featured in my reel yesterday.
I love the subtle colour from @barrettineproducts wood preserver that enhances the sculpture and protects at the same time.

The gate has multiple elements from the Armstrong-Jones family crest meaning it's truly unique and perfect for the setting.

Earlier this week I shared a #GreenMan sculpture commissioned as an anniversary gift. I love a good "treefolk" sculpture so I thought I'd share some I've made in the past including my Oak Father and Daughter and an Ent.

Some photos my client sent me of the #GreenMan sculpture he commissioned as an #AnniversaryGift for his wife.

It's #NationalSportsDay in a few countries around the globe so for the occasion, here are a few sporting sculptures I've made.
I realised I haven't had many sports commissions. Which sportsperson or sport would you like to see me make?

Sharing my #PolarBear sculpture because this week one of the team told us she couldn't work out the lyrics to "Golden", and keeps hearing "I'm done hiding, now I'm shining like a polar bear" 🤣🤣🤣
Have you got any funny #MisheardLyrics ? Let me know in the comments!

Remember the #fairy I made at this year's English Open competition at Sandringham?
Here she is in her forever home!
Thank you to the buyer for the photo! I hope you enjoy her!

For those who prefer photos to video, here are a few of the sculpture I made for The Bear - Tattenhall
As well as being able to enjoy a great meal and see this sculpture, you'll also spot my illustrations around the place when you visit.

Angel in a Wasteland.
Another fun commission, thoroughly enjoyed myself on this.

Although it's not a portrait, my current sculpture is loosely based on my client's wife on their wedding Day. Can you see it?

Tuesday.
My current commission. And what a lovely setting to be doing it in!

I made this #hare #sculpture back in February but just finished the time lapse. It's great timing though as this lovely property is available to book.
Anyone for a holiday in a cottage with a star-gazing hare?

Yesterday was #PaperbackBookDay which reminded me of this collab with Matthew Crabb, created as part of the jubilee celebrations.
This premise can be adapted for any book or author. What would you choose?

One of the great things about a pillar is you don't have to stick to one theme and can incorporate multiple things that are appealing, beautiful, or meaningful to you.
What do you think to this one from around 2021?

Re-sharing this lioness sculpture from 2020 in honour of the fantastic performance of the #lionesses in the #euros . What a great night for British football! Were you watching?

Owls are the most popular animal I get asked to carve at the top of a wildlife sculpture (Like the one I made this week), but they're not the only animal people choose.
This client opted for a rooster. You can just imagine him crowing in the morning!

Here it is, the finished owl sculpture at Braganza Bed and Breakfast in St Mawes.
If you're in the area, spot it at w3w.co/gearing.blue...
And if you're looking for a B&B in Cornwall, Liz and I definitely recommend this one!

Another beautiful morning to start my last day working on this commission in St Mawes, Cornwall.

A sunny Wednesday update from my latest commission at Braganza Bed and Breakfast in St Mawes.
Listening back, I think I accidentally found a great name for a Chainsaw Carver's autobiography. Can you spot it?

As you can tell from the sawdust, I've been hard at work!
The sculpture is taking shape nicely with a couple of owls blocked out.
If you were having a wildlife pillar, what would you choose to sit at the top?
