Over the bank holiday I had a sale out of the blue and had to rummage for hours to find this blackthorn spirit, then clean up and re-oil back to a respectable state.

Not done one of these for a long time due to lots of reasons, but this has turned out mostly okay.

Another cherry face wood spirit as usual. I'm very bored with myself at the moment and my imagination is in the bin so this is all we get.

A lump of cherry branch with a stern, bearded face carved into it, lots of swirly red grain. Photographed in the garden at 6am.

Another beardy wood spirit out of the small pile of cherry that I found on the railway path. I got this one done while the earlier one is drying out enough to sand and detail.
