Antler Wren

[Neil Lawton]

I made this a long time ago (2001), as a present for the Mother outlaw. (we're not married)

The pin attaching the antler to the wood had worked its way loose, and it came back for repair!

I'm not sure how much this can be classed as a carving, as the whole thing was made with a Junior Hacksaw, and a Dremel.

A+ Neil, and you can have a sticker for that one too. You must have been a dremel pioneer back in 2001?

My mum's favourite bird is a wren. Mine is watching telly.

What are the dimensions?

About the size of a Wren, Chas.

From the tip of the tail to the beak is about 95mm.
A straight line from the mount to the back is 55mm.

It was the old 395 model Jimi.
I bought it in the 90's and it finally gave up the ghost last year. I have the 4000 model now, and lots of other Dremel kit!

Nice one Neil. It comes under the heading of power carving but varving all the same I bet that stank when you was working that.

At low speed it was not too bad, you have a lot less control of the tool though!

Still made me think of root canal work at the Dentists.

Way beautiful Neil glad you are not married to the Mum that Wren is outstanding must been taking lessons from Brian I never ever underestimate the way those old and new Dremels are so versatile. It sure epitomises the typical cheeky little Wren we see over here and love, grateful you shared vwith us today your work of art indeed.
