The Leeds armouries Project
This series of carvings are part of a project for the Leeds Amouries by the West Riding Wood Carving Association of which I am a member.We have created a two panels in memory of the first & second world wars in total there are 95 carvings & these few are my contibution.Two of these carvings the Mayfly airship & Munitions Factory Girl are a joint effort between myself & other members of W.R.W.C.A.
All proceeds for the sale of booklets describing the various panels are being donated to The Forget-Me-Not Tust Childrens Hospice.
Each carving is taken from a photograph at the time of the wars so they all have a real life story behind them as explained in the booklet.
As you can see I have used a little bit of artistic licence in this one.
