    Default Christmas presents…

    The horned frog is for a TCU grad with a collection of horned frogs. I took the school mascot/logo and puffed him up to 3D and added a texture. The wood is Texas Mesquite which is appropriate! I re-sawed a ¼” off the bottom of the blank, rotated it 90° and glued it back on… this made it so the legs and tail aren’t quite as fragile because they have grain running in two directions.
    The Running horses sign is 17” X 32” and carved out of Western Red Cedar… This wood is the worst possible wood for carving! It wants to “fuzz” and chip. After my rough 3D pass, I treated the wood with MinWax wood hardener. The 3D finish pass turned out beautifully! No sanding at all on the horses, The dish shows some “lines” I think from the material shrinking while I was cutting! Next time I’ll add a texture of some sort that will help disguise machining marks.
