Slightly Pathetic Owl

Description

Before I give this away, I thought I might take a couple shots of it and put it up on dA just because. This is what I made during my weekend in Gimli when I wasn't fighting. It's a soapstone carving of an owl and stylistically, I tried to make along the lines of Inuit methods, perhaps borrowing a bit into Viking art as well. It took about ten hours to make, believe it or not, and I started by getting the block roughly into shape with a large coarse file (one that we use to de-burr our swords) and then I used some smaller tools to bring out more of the detail.

I'm debating with myself whether to give it away to my hosts in Victoria but I think I will. Hopefully they're not too offended! :D

Nice work! You've just given me a good idea for our next event, when I'm not terrorising children I'm going to bring myself a lump of wood and carve up something pretty. If I wanted to be really traditional I could even grab myself a piece of whale bone... but for big animals they're surprisingly hard to catch ;)
