My second chair carving

pastryguyhawaii · 10-17-2009, 04:01 PM

This was my second attempt at a chair out of ohia. I put a koa insert in the seat where it was cracked. The little feet are also koa. I'm a long way from being good but it's an improvement over my first one.

Thanks. I think you can be happy with the initial outcome but then in order to improve you have to be critical of yourself. Plus, I compare myself to those who are much better than me.
I forget if I asked you where you live in Michigan? I grew up on a farm by Lansing.

Hey PGH check out what this thing fetched on fleabay-http://cgi.ebay.com/SCULPTED-Rustic-...item27adeff514 I don't know what your charging but I think yours have a lot more character and are all around better looking wood that this thing. You should be able to fetch a premium for yours I would think!

Thanks Chad. You do some fine work yourself. I'm not trying to get top dollar at the moment for my pieces. I feel that will come with time and exposure. I think I'm just scratching the surface of what I can accomplish. And the only way to learn is to do it over and over.
