A collaboration I can really get behind…

Once I've blocked out a sculpture, the STIHL MSA200 battery saw is brilliant for refining the shape and adding detail like fur. I'm using it here with their 043 (1.1mm) gauge 12” (30cm) carving bar.

On Friday I asked if you could guess the video game this sword was from. A few of you guessed correctly - well done! It's the Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII.
Paul and I were lucky enough to work on this commission in 2022 to celebrate the launch of the action-packed prequel to FF VII.

A little teaser for something I'll be working on for the next couple of days.

A longer look at the relief carved dancer featured in my reel yesterday.
I love the subtle colour from @barrettineproducts wood preserver that enhances the sculpture and protects at the same time.

I had the commission from the Plas Dinas estate to create a new gate leading to a footpath, and I saw this as an opportunity to collaborate with Alfie Bradley. We used Cedar to create the fencing and gate (credit to Paul Edwards for the gate and fleur de lys), and made space for Alfie’s artwork.

It's #NationalSportsDay in a few countries around the globe so for the occasion, here are a few sporting sculptures I've made.
I realised I haven't had many sports commissions. Which sportsperson or sport would you like to see me make?

My app tells me it's #NationalDogDay!
I'll do a dog compilation later in the week, but for now, here's me refining a #sculpture I made of a #Weimeraner , a breed known for its intelligence, high energy, and hunting.

Do you have a favourite dog breed? Let me know in the comments!
