Hi Folks
pre stroke i used to carve, this was carved from a fence post.
I now do pyrography when health allows.

That looks good! I’m sure you’ll manage some sort of carving again it may be awhile, but bear with it. I hope you manage to progress with a little bit of perseverance and positivity. I wish you well on your journey to recovery

You’re sketching is far superior to anything I could produce. You sell yourself short.

Like fine wine, good work gains something as it ages.
No piece is ever finished. You just need to know when to walk away and move on.
The past is behind you, the future ahead of you. It is now that counts, now. when and where everything happens.

A row of fence posts like that? Make a mould, cast many.

ive taken up art work at present thanks.Need to work more on gripping strength im left hand, Carving with a sharp knife and a loose grip is not the best idea.I will carve again in the future. I love to use fence post off cuts, items that would otherwise go in the burn bin. I tend to think ive given then a form of life again

I know from what I do in the kitchen that knives and blood thinners and such like medication can create situations.
I have to cut left handed these days which is a learning experience.
I’m slowly getting back some strength and flexibility in my right hand but a long way to go yet.
I struggle a bit but try to work with what I have rather than work at what I lost.
Good luck in your endeavours.
Your creative spirit can and will find an outlet of that I am certain.
keep on keepin on

I think they’re very good. I like the lady looking over her shoulder. I hope you are doing well and I hope this gives you back a purpose and a point to focus on whilst you continue to recover.

i like to sketch animals mainly, Only had a few attempts at people.
My main thing really is carving, love to see what lies beneath a chunk of what would be waste timber.
