Llama Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I wanted to share a couple of pics of reindeer in their new homes. A few of you have some and I'd like to share pics of those as well. Either post here, or send them my way and I'll post them. From Brent R.

pghmyn Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I love that burl. Didn't at first, but that was until I took the time to appreciate it and get out of my comfort zone. I like the utilization of a "limited" line. You have a pretty good marketing skill, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every piece of wood I see makes me think of how it would look as a reindeer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christoph Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I really like this reindeer ... it looks clean and simple, however I bet trying to copy will be very hard, precisely because it is so clean and simple.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Thank you These took a long time to get just right. My first ones were clunky and just plain odd looking. There is a very fine line between what you see in the newer ones and the old ones. One slip at the bandsaw or sanding and it looks weird. I still make ones that look a little drunk from time to time, but for the most part in have it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChetlovesMer Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Away in the manger no crib for his bed the little droid R2 lays down his metal head. The stars in the sky look down where he kinda stands on his goofy side feet, the little droid R2 asleep on the desk.... Okay, it needs work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Fingers Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 As usual, I'm late to the party... Great work Mel! Wish I could have picked up one of those burl-deer for my wife. I even like the one with the broken antler. I'll be keeping an eye out for your future projects! Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
