Saw this video on another forum so apologies to any who have seen it but I thought it was worth sharing, such a simple idea with stunning results.

Fantastic skill, the finger control on that chisel is amazing. Cock it up on one curl and you would be really hacked off, I wonder how many it took before he managed to complete the first one?

Wonder if you can have a painted option????

Snap, my first though after wow was, what a bugger it would be if if you cocked up the one of the last "leaves" :vangry:

Shouldn't be too difficult to waft some spray paint over them, make them look Christmassy & they'd sell themselves

Very impressive indeed, not something I'm going to have a go at though. It would be like running a marathon and just before the finishing line remembering your number was back at the start line.

That man done good, ennit? as Grump would say. Truly amazing. My wife has a similar one on display as an ornament - made from multi-coloured candle wax.

Thanks, Doug!

Very skilled thing he was doing there looks good.
Gonna sharpen my scrapers up and have a go init?google
I have used old planer blades so I don't see why a paint scraper shouldn't work and this chap proves it I think.
Thanks for sharing Doug.

Doug, Outstanding skills abound I can guess they all have versatility, dexterity far and away more than I have.

Thanks for the heads up.

Kind regards Peter.
