Any visit to West Cornwall would not be complete without saying hello to the C15th Mermaid of Zennor. Although she sits in isolation in a sea of mediocre Victorian restoration, she is beautiful, inspiring, and mysterious. She holds a mirror and a comb, seen as symbols of vanity.

A bench end with a carving of a mermaid. She has long hair and is kneeling down, holding a mirror and a comb. Below her is a quatrefoil and the sides of the bench end are carved with diagonal lines with patterns in between them.

Cherry scoop with kolrosing and chip carving decorations. I call this model "knorr" wich kind of means whirl in Swedish.

NHK WORLDEnku's 120,000 Smiles over Gifu - Journeys in Japan | NHK WORLD-JAPANRoughly hewed, smiling statues of deities and Buddhas... A monk named Enku is believed to have sculpted some 120,000 in Gifu Prefecture, which are beloved to this day. We discover the stunning nature and culture of this area by following in the monk-sculptor's footsteps. We see where he practiced shugendo—rigorous mountain spiritual training; and where he stopped to create his charismatic statues. Actor Jonathan Senior travels to places associated with Enku to learn about his enduring legacy.

Enigmatic carving on medieval wall plate in south porch.

Carving on a horizontal piece of wood of a face with rope hair and tongue protruding. Coming out of their mouth is a long stem with large leaves attached.

If anyone happens to know, what kind of tools would I need to start out with whittling or small-scale wood carving? I'm assuming that balsa is the recommended starter wood, I can get cubes and other such shapes of it fairly easily. I don't currently have any knives I would trust to be sharp enough (and I probably need to learn how to sharpen a knife properly, I have a sharpening stone but I don't really know how to use it), but I'm also not sure if there's specific types that work better.

A walk in the woods, with Beau's #cedar #woven #raven #hat.
Photos he sent me from his outing to Shawnigan Lake yesterday.

A photo showing a cedar woven Coast Salish hat adorned with a carved raven's head perched atop a wooden pole, displayed outdoors, with a blurred background of a forest environment. The hat is light brown/beige & densely woven, with cedar strip strands fringed on both sides of the raven head face carving. The raven carving is pale pinkish beige, with an open beak & an intricate Coast Salishan eye design.

My friend Beau's latest creation.
A gorgeous #cedar #weaved #hat with a #raven head. Custom made for a #Kwakiutl educator, (from the Raven Clan) in Campbell River.
First photo is of the hat on a worktable.
Second photo is of the hat with a starry skies edit by me.

A cedar raven head carving attached to a woven cedar hat is on a table. Around it are scattered tools & materials, including scissors, a file, sandpaper, a wooden bowl & some colorful papers.

Low-angle close-up shot of a Coast Salish Indigenous cedar wood carving against a deep blue night skies background. The subject is a detailed raven's head & face. The raven is tan with a visible wood grain texture. It is attached to a cedar woven hat with some woven fiber fringe that drapes around the raven's head. The blue background includes a faint layer of white clouds right above the horizon. Sprinkled throughout the blue is an effect of twinkling stars in different sizes.

Wood carved and handbuilt curved stuff for prototype on wood cupboard door. Not finished of course. I enjoyed cutting, working out curve and hand carving. Now it'll be handed over to real carpenter skillset people. Booked in at a local hotel ttah happened to have a spa. So nice to feel water as movement and thinking of ripples.
