    I decided to carve a block of 100 year old seasoned pine into a replica of my camper this is how it's going --

    It began as a a old discarded bit of 3 x 3 timber that i roughly shaped

    I then drew the rough outline of my westy on it and began to carve with my carving stanley knife --



    And then got a little more intricate
