Rod, Most happy I am that you have been able to find, and induce to reveal herself, Sophia. Wife of Waldemar. Sprite of the forest. Guardian of trees. Keep the aspidistra flying! God bless Paul

Practice Practice Practice. She looks good. Keep that artistic blood moving.

Relieves my stress just watching you create these masterpieces! Great job...

Well, I think she's lovely. A woman not to be trifled with! You're giving those dead trees something to be proud of. They must be the envy of the treeborhood!

I always enjoy watching the face appear on the side of the tree. It's so cool. Great work!

Good evening, Marine. The wind cooperated with your project nicely. Early in the roughing I thought you refueled with jet fuel. Just fast forward but surprised me. She is a respected lady. A lady of wisdom. I like that. Well done. Time to give that upper body a rest. GB + SF

She IS very stern indeed, but even watching her come to life before my eyes it's hard to believe one could create something so beautiful with chainsaws!

You know, the way you create such a natural, flowing transition from trunk to sculpture, you remind me of Michelangelo. When asked how he made all those masterpieces, he answered: "Oh, I don't really do anything. They are trapped inside the marble slab and I just help them free themselves!" By the way, Sophia is the Greek word for Wisdom. What a becoming name for the Lady of the Woods! Also, thank you for the excellent music choice!

Rod KB again🤪😇 I really liked the way my routing of my bowl and resin turned out. ? What router do you use and do you have a plunger attached? I used my small handheld and it was kinda iffy 🤔 It was fun though and I’m gonna do some more. Thanks for your help Buddy! Fire in the Hole! Mate 🐸🔱⚓️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hey, brother, I'm glad things went well. Yep the full size routers will offer more stability for sure. I use a Porter Cable (standard) and a Craftsman Professional with plunging. Most of my routing has been done without the plunging, but I do both and don't really have a preference. Either way you have to set your depth, though with the plunger it may be a bit steadier initial plunge. Fire for Effect! 😁

Rod, I’ve watched a couple of your videos where you used a router to cut designs in platters/ bowls. Beautiful work! I tried one myself today. It turned out ok but I have some questions, if you don’t mind? What router would you suggest? How deep? And what size bits? Also, I noticed that you wear a dive watch? I know you with the Corps Where you in recon? Thanks for all your videos and help! Still learning!🤪🤣 KB out 🐸⚓️🔱🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hey, KB, thank you for watching my videos! For the router, I don't have a preference on brands. For the router bit, I use usually use a 7/16" long 1/8" straight bit, and I max out that depth the full 7/16". This allows for a 1/8" mortise and 1/16" of leeway on the interior bowl bottom for material removal, leaving a nice 1/4 inch final thickness. Hope that helps! Actually, I have a couple Seiko Sharp Edge GMT watches and the bezels are for alternate time zones. Handy for travel. The others are Chronograph watches because I'm a racing fan... F1 mostly. In the Corps, I was an Infantry Marine for over 20 years... I see your trident... SEAL? Thanks again, KB!
