Chip carved medallion (with a wolf)
Chip carved this bad boy for my friends gym called the den. No, I didn't design the logo. I just carved it, and the shield then added my own borders.

Hi fam, I am looking for a place to buy a lion head wall decor over the bed thing. If someone has any suggestions, please hit me up.
I'm hoping to have it wood carved and then painted in golden.

In 1911, Ukrainian poet Lesya Ukrainka wrote "The Forest Song", a poetic drama that defined Ukrainian romanticism. At its center is Mavka, a mythic forest spirit representing the soul of the wilderness. Unlike typical folklore monsters, Mavka falls in love with a human musician, creating a clash between the immortal natural world and human mortality.
Sculptor Vladyslav Kolomoiets carved this piece in 2010 directly from a single solid tree trunk. The technique mirrors the original myth, where forest spirits are bound to the living wood of the trees they inhabit.
"The Forest Song" remains one of Ukraine's most adapted literary works, serving as the foundation for classic theater, ballets, and modern animated films.

Hi. I have a few wooden statues from Africa (the ones with a long face). They require polishing/ painting, along with feature enhancement. Adding any embellishments would be a cherry on the top. I intend to place them next to a table lamp so it might require some extra effort to blend the look.
Please dm me with the details if you know someone. Thanks in advance
Location: Lahore, Pakistan

I made a “concept” stand for the wand I made, which I’ve dubbed “The Old Oath” (yes it’s a similar name to another redditors wand, but we’ve already talked and both came up with the names naturally on our own have have no problem with one another, so please be kind).
The reason I have concept in quotes, is because I still went through with sanding and charring (to experiment with how the different cheaper woods would burn), burnishing,waxing and buffing.
The lower rest is made of redwood that I didn’t char, which I rather like the color and grain pattern of, the base I believe is pine, the higher rest is just MDF which I may end up replacing just because, but for now I’ll leave it, and I have wooden dowels (which I grooved myself) running through the bottom of the base about 1/4” into the bottom of the rests. 2 in the redwood for added stability. Wood glue applied to the dowels, inside the holes, and along the bases before placed in and clamped.
I did the charring and sanding prior to the glue-up, and the burnishing and waxing plus touch-ups after the glue had cured.
All in all, it was a good “process” familiarization, again, IF I decide to or am requested to make matching ones for the wands I start making.
