Finally, here's another new-to-me gall that I've very, very tentatively ID'd as something made by Ophiomyia tiliae, a fly in the Agromyzidae. If I get a correction on iNaturalist I'll update this post. Possibly not even a gall! 5/5 #GallWeek2025 #gall #galls #inaturalist #mites #flies #diptera #tilia #basswood

This little fella is basswood and finished with teak oil. Why teak oil? It was the closest thing to hand. So why not? 😄

An older #woodcarving that I varnished then used some green #stain over the #varnish to darken the crevices. Kinda like it.

Another of my #woodcarvings with and without a paint job.
Again, it started as a 4x1x1" piece of #basswood. Once it's carved, I paint them with #watercolor then give them a coat of varnish. For this guy I also added a wooden disc base with fake grass and a little plastic dog. Just to finish it off..

A few more photos of the final thing.
Basswood, 4x1x1". Done using a #flexcut Carvin' Jack multi tool. But, really, you can use any knife. As long as it's sharp.

And here's the final thing.
A quick stain then varnish. Once the varnish is dry some darker stain (to bring out the details) and a final varnish.#woodcarving #woodwork #carving #art #mastoart #wood #basswood #flexcut #carvinjack

Trying to carve a figure as I normally would then use a cordless Dremel tool with small drums to sand the future.
Which look do you prefer; smoothed or unsmoothed?
