A fun weekend project for my little nephews and niece - carving their initals on the family swing. For the wood I used a great piece of cedar from an old tree me and my brothers used to play under when we were little kids! #family #swing #cedar #woodcarving #initials #lettering #kent #kentlife #carvingforfun #gardenofengland #weekend #cedaroflebanon #carving #handmade #memories
Work in progress... The Coat of Arms of Philip Alexius de Laszlo (1869-1937) a famous Hungarian painter. The bird you see on the shield is called a Turul and is a mythical bird of prey and the national symbol of modern Hungary. Next step painting and gilding... #heraldry #coatofarms #hungarianpainter #hungary #woodcarving #crest #quebecpine #collegeofarms #carving #handmade #traditional #beforepainting #wip #craft #bespoke #painter #historic #journeyman #london #heraldic
Thrilled to be awarded a Journeyman Carver Certificate by the Livery Companies Skills Council. It was incredible to see the range of crafts and skills covered by other Livery companies, each doing amazing work. A great sign for the future of traditional crafts! #carpentershall #cityandguilds #woodcarving #liverycompany #craft #journeyman #carving #traditionalskills #guild #worshipfulcompanyofjoinersandceilers

Great to see the latest carving article. This one looks at a Japanese blockwood printing workshop I went on at @cglartschool earlier in the year with Master carver Motoharu Asaka (@asaka.mokuhanga), my own explorations in blockwood printing making traditional beer mats and a short study trip around the cathedrals of Northern France! . #guildofmastercraftsmen #woodcarvingmagazine #woodcarving #japaneseblockwoodprinting #traditional #blockwoodprinting #carving #cathedrals #beermats #beer #traditionalhoptokens #hoptokens #hops #magazine #craftmanship #handmade
