Hare woodcarving
Meldonmech:
Hi Mick
Great hare, I had a large white haired Lop Rabbit just like that, we called him Thumper. He fathered lots more rabbits and when he was feeling randy he would thump the floor, and that's how he got his name.
Cheers David

Thanks for the comments lads , well the hare is almost done, the hare carving is done just a base to do for it now, the main reason for this is the grain in the wood runs up and down so the feet sticking out are likely to get snapped off if knocked at any point in the future.
This is it after final sanding and the other detail carved in , like the feet.
It then was waxed using beeswax mixed with turpentine scrubbed in with an old toothbrush, and warmed over with an electric heat gun so it soaks in.
Then buffed off with a soft brissle brush then buffed wit a soft cotton cloth and the jobs a good un !
Cheers Mick.

Wow!
I'm always amazed with carvings like that. Wish I was able to do that but I wouldn't know where to start and just don't have that kind of talent.
Nice!

A first rate job Mick. I like how the grain of the wood looks like hair (hare hair?).
