Carving a door knocker in European Oak

As I am waiting for some stuff to arrive for the boat, I have started to carve a greenman door knocker. I found the idea and drawing in a book by Shawn Cipa, on gargoyles. It probably will be a decorative door knocker rather than a working one.

The door knocker is all wood, I am using a lovely piece of Oak, probably European Oak. The greenman is about 6" square.

I have done parts of it so far. Here are some pictures. More to come when I have done some more work.


This is made of two layers glued together at 90 degrees, to make it less fragile

    That's a nice piece -in progress, of course, but looking good!

    I hope you'll repost it when it's done; it looks really nice.
