Now sure what this guy is cooking but I don’t think I’ll place an order. He’ll have a cigarette handing out the side of his mouth, no doubt to let the ashes drop in the soup to give it some extra flavor. Couple more photos in the gallery but this is an original so no copies please.
I got around to pretty well finishing the carving of this figure. Still have to add a couple more small details but he’s basically done. The chicken is in two parts to get him into the cook’s fist. The feet and head are soaked in Super Glue to give them more strength which explains the different color. Still have to do the hardwood base.
I think he’s really turning out great and can’t wait to start the paint job.
Well, here he is. It looks like he’s not really sure just what he’s supposed to prepare! I think there is one thing we can count on though and that’s that it will not rate any stars from the Michelin Guide!.
This was really a fun piece to do and as I’ll probably never do another like it it will have to rate the “Classic” designation, something I don’t hand out very often. That scrawny neck on the chicken might look fragile but it’s been reinforced with a metal rod so it’s not as fragile as it might appear. With the base I’d say it stands around 18-19 inches tall.
Hope you like him as much as I do.
