2025 Holiday Ornaments

Late last night I finished this year's ornaments, Santa on a scroll representing The List. 

Each August I work out a design and have the blanks cut by Labor Day so I can carve them during Dracut's Old Home Day event in September.  This year's event was interrupted by high winds and rain and we were sent home.  I didn't get as much done as I hoped and I ran a little bit behind.


I was being hard on myself about it, but then I recall that the tradition of trading ornaments with the late M. Paul Ward was started one year when I ran behind and didn't have the ornaments finished until the 23rd.

2025 Eastern White Pine.  Polychromed and finished with rub-on polyurethane.

Since the original posting, golfball carving came into vogue and this technique works with those as well.

Now remove a chip from the forehead and the chin. Remove a chip from either side of the nose to define the eyebrow. Remove a chip from either side of the mouth to define the top ...

Hail Boreas!

Image
 Today was the first snow of the season.  It's light and won't last the afternoon, but I still found time to go outside and listen to the sound of the flakes sliding down the pine needles. Boreas was a labor of love from the first pencil line until the last stroke of the paintbrush.  The wood is eastern white pine, rescued from a discard pile at a nearby lumberyard. It is painted in a wash of white acrylic, finished with a clear acrylic finish, then washed with a light blue acrylic, then another coat of finish.   Boreas, the god of the North Wind, is hanging near my desk and will be my companion for the season.
