The meditating frog in a hollow

in #ocd7 days ago

Hello and good morning to all...
Today I'd like to share my first frog in a hollow.

It's normally bears in a hollow, which are my most popular. But I thought I'd mix it up a bit and carve something different.

Here he is in the raw and all chainsaw. Yes up to this point, the only tool used was the chainsaw. Not bad huh?

This piece wasn't a commission but my best pieces tend to come from my imagination rather than custom ordered. It sold fast.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I saw. I love what I do and I'm happy to share here on Peakd. Feel free to upvote and reboot, stay tuned for more and thanks for looking.
Be well,
Jon

Thank you for sharing your incredible work with us. Your sculptures are absolutely impressive.
I would love to see pictures of the creation process too, from raw material to the final artwork.

You are welcome, I try to get as many pictures as possible. There's a few I'll be sharing here that involve the before and after and everything in between.


Your help would be much appreciated!

BTW, may I ask you to support the HiveBuzz proposal (https://peakd.com/proposals/331)?

I would support yes but the link takes me to a "404 not found"

Weird, can you retry with this one: https://peakd.com/proposals/331

Done, after loooking, I think it was because there was a question mark at the end of the link

Thank you for your support @jonatftforest, really appreciate it! 👍
