Limewood again with the colours burnt on . This work is simply stunning !. The carving is amazing , and making pyrography look like an actual colour is an amazing skill.👍 I'd just like to say that the green Crocs were noticed . Now let's never speak of them ever again .😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshFace Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Thanks, no I wish I had the patience and skills, that why I envy you. I took in part of a deal when I sold a Benelli semi auto, it just sits in the corner of the mancave unfortunately.
