Had this last bit of Cypress given to me from a wood chip dealer. So I decided to call this boot in his honour, hence Lumberjack. He may even be a Lumberjock!Cypress is an interesting wood to carve and the coloration and grain is most interesting. It finishes well showing a lot of colour and grain. It is quite sappy so the carving and shaping is a challenge. Carving bits and sandpaper tend to clog up quickly.
Just got the project finished in time before the snowstorm hit. Got into the house from my carving studio and was welcomed with a two fingered shot of Scotch from my wife. Bless her!Enjoy!
Carving will be postponed for a few days to let the storm pass over. My Scotch supply is adequate!
