David Western's Lovespoon Eisteddfod Blog, 28 July 2009 - "Practicing My Scales"

This week I finally got back to the Eisteddfod dragon after being away for a few weeks and then being swamped by all the "wedding season' carving which I should have done before I left! It was a nice treat to reaquaint myself with my little walnut friend here and to work on getting him ready for the Left Coast Eisteddfod next month.

Wales and Uruguay 1 - David Evans

This year my father decided to visit non-turistic places in Uruguay for his holiday. That is how he got to know a small town called Conchillas. He told me that its main street was named after a Welshman called David Evans. As soon as I knew this I started looking for information about David Evans. Some days later I decided to visit the town so as to know more about him. In order to understand David Evans´story we must first know about a small town called Conchillas. Conchillas is a sma… Continue

From David Western's Lovespoon Blog: "Here be Dragons!"

I have finally reached the crowning section of the Left Coast Eisteddfod lovespoon and will now enjoy some time bringing the guardian dragon to life. I have 'ummed and ahhed' about how I am going to tackle this little chap and have decided to carve him 'in the round' (fully 3 dimensional). The walnut I am using is of a sufficient thickness to handle it, so I think that it is the way to go.

David Western Blog Post: "Naught for Not, Knots"

Continuing where I left off with the Celtic knotwork, the first image (4845) shows clearly the little ramp that I am developing to form the over and under structure of the knotwork. As mentioned before, the key at this stage is not to go too deep. Until I am satisfied that all the cross-overs are in order and there a

This week's David Western Lovespoon Blog: "The Spoon at The Halfway Point"

I've neared the half-way point carving the front of the Left Coast Eisteddfod lovespoon. The bowls are shaped, the vines have been formed and the leaf/star section is more-or-less complete. I'm now going to move into the Celtic knotwork section which the dragon surrounds. I just realized that the pictures in the last few blogs have all been close-ups, so I think it is a good idea to include a picture of the
