Roughing in
Well it was cold and damk here today so I got some serious stick work done. I finished roughing in the wolf head stick and I roughed in the market stick with the Border Collie head on, what i guess we can call the "chin". Lots of work with the dremel and the big belt sander to get this far. I get to a point where i just have to stop because the sawdust is just overwhelming even when i have the shop vac hooked up to the big sander. I guess its about time I put up some pictures of my little shop shed so its clearer what i am talking about. Perhaps that will be tomorrows post as I rarely work on sticks on Sundays as I am usually to busy with herding lessons.
The next step for these two sticks is carving of the wolf and dog head respectively. That's probably going to take a few days then it will be time to get down to some serious sanding.
