Carving A Castle | Butternut Challenge

  • I carved a castle! Out of pine? What happened to the butternut? Well, when you're sitting around the table at Jimmy DiResta's house after Makers Camp, you never know what will happen. This time a challenge was issued by Xyla of Beauty and the Bolt. She would send us all a chunk of butternut wood for us to carve. The catch? No ducks! The former woodcarver who was offloading his shed full of wood to her said he had carved his last duck and there would be No! More! Ducks! With the usual amount of cheerful resistance, we accepted the challenge and here we are today. The twist for me? My chunk of wood ended up being white pine. Oops! So, I still haven't ever carved butternut. Oh well. At least I got to make a castle! Make sure you check out the other challengers! And see if anyone defied the rules and made a duck!

    Sorry about the wood mixup 🙈 I realized I was grabbing from the wrong pile after mailing yours 😬

    Now, when can I move into the castle?

    • @FigmentsMade
      @FigmentsMade  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's not a problem at all! It meant I got to paint it and not worry about covering lovely wood. 😉
      And maybe I'll make some fire starters with the pile of shavings and sawdust...
      I'll let you know as soon as I figure out the indoor plumbing. 😁

    Can I recommend Stinnett Sticks (if you don't already follow him) as a place to marvel at a master wood carver? He utilises many of the techniques you've used here, hence why that reminded me.
