They call me (Dead-Eye)... not really but I like it so...

Welcome to Dedi's place. This is a where you will find the mild ravings of a mad woodworker, some fishy tales, tasty recipes, and some good generalized BS.

Well a little more progress tonight, I cut the pieces for the lamb (all but the eyes) Starting to look like something now. I'm excited to see this piece come together, still a ton of work here to do. This will be a very interesting piece to shape. I think I will be able to give this piece a lot of dimension, and depth, can't hardly wait until I get to shaping that mane!!
  I googled Lion and the Lamb and looked at a lot of images of others work on the same piece they all look great, but quite different from mine,  well you will just have to go see for yourself. The lady who commissioned this piece has graciously told me she will let me borrow it once I am done and enter it in the State Fair of Texas. Really hard to believe its been almost a year since I posted items here that I entered in last years state fair.

OK 2 posts in one night... I have started on "Lion and the Lamb" I have finished cutting out the Lion and have a good pic of the head so thought I would post it.
So far I have  2 shades of Teak dark (mane ) and yellow (muzzle), Walnut, Mahogany, Aspen, Maple, Ebony, and Sycamore.


Well I finished a piece called "Summer Daze" it was quite a challenge to get it right, different for what I am used to doing. The shaping of the chair just was tuff to do and get right but I made it through. It was a fun piece and my fav parts are the flip flops. Overall I am happy with the piece but it's not my favorite, which might explain why it took me 3 months to finish. Anyway I have already started on another piece the "Lion and the Lamb" both pieces were sold in the Youth Gala this past spring.
