Darwin Ahoy Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 It's no dinosaur...just a sloth . I've shown this one on here before. It's the most recent that I still have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwin Ahoy Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 In a straight shot, I'd estimate the sloth took about 10 hours. But working on and off on it, it took me a bit over a week, I think. I can't remember exactly, as I did it about 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thanks Shamus. Haven't done much in a while, and am strictly an amatuer. But it's fun to doodle when I have the time - which is too infrequently.

Fossildude19 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Thanks Jim. Between work, fossils, kids, and a wife, time is tight. I enjoy drawing and wood carving, but,... just finding the time! I think I need one of those 'Harry Potter time twister' things! I think Anthony needs to keep drawing! That Sloth is amazing!

Fossildude19 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Carmine, Sounds like a great idea! I was actually going to try to carve a trilobite, over the holidays. I'll see if I can get the time to do that!

Ordovician_Odyssey Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 you can share your carvings to! its also an art! -Shamus The Ordovician enthusiast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xonenine Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) there's always something to do with that extra snow, too, I was thinking of a big trilobite carved in the snow.Maybe not while I carved this, but later I did, think of a trilobite. All kidding aside, I just cut a nice block of alabaster out for a trilobite carving.

xonenine Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) I even decided to carve a fake break in the moroccan trilobyte, just like the explosives probably shattered my original.It will look more real, I think...

xonenine Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) Thanks, it's alot of fun.I can't wait to do the cephalon this afternoon. I have some really cool soapstone/steatite, extra hard translucent grey green with lumps of iron in it, after the simple calymene, I'm itching to carve a nice greenops, hollardops, cornuproteus, or aristoharpes, carving is pretty addictive too, hehe.I already want to carve a whole set...

xonenine Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) Hey Tim, thanks, I'll look up the suppliers, they are nice and a 25 lb box of either the hard Montana Steatite or the alabaster can be had from 35 to 50 a box, depending on colors. Alabaster and Soapstone and this ebay seller has great soapstone and alabaster, too Outwest Trading I"ve ordered from them numerous times...Carmine Edited December 24, 2010 by xonenine "Your serpent of Egypt is bred now of your mud by the operation of your sun; so is your crocodile."
