He is an artist very talented! :)
Cute projects!
God bless you
Léia :)
Hands which create are hands that think.. M. Brattcatt has wonderful hands...
It sure looks like he knows how to handle a knife!
I love the hands of a craftsman at work, BC. Does he take a portable vacuum with him wherever he goes?
This is a vanishing art. I haven't seen it in years.
I like the collection of WOOD doddelings of Mr. Brattcat! Have you had to use a lot of band-aids on his fingers?
Julie, he does his doodling in his wood shop which has a vacuum system. He brought these in for me to photograph when I told him I'd like to use them for this month's theme. He thinks no more of these than I think of a grocery list. They are entirely disposable to him. Amazing.
Leif, he hardly ever cuts himself. In his entire woodworking career I can think of only two times and those cuts required more than band-aids.
Nice.
Mr. Brattcat is an accomplished doodler, for sure! With a pocket knife? These are amazing. And it appears he uses a variety of woods.
As B Squared mentioned, there aren't very many wood-carvers around anymore...but when I was a kid I knew several older men who were always whittling away and were often quite good.
That is some very talented doodling!
These are beautiful! I love hand-carved wood, and I especially adore these.
I bet he carves a mean holiday turkey! Just kidding!
What amazing little treasures, Mr. Brattcat is very talented.
Sunny :)
How fabulous. What an artist is Mister Brattcat. Some beautiful work here. Thanks so much for sharing it. A lovely lovely post.
I knew just as soon as I saw the shots what they were and whose work it was. My grandfather was quite the whittler... trait NOT past on.
Wow he is quite a whittler. I have a friend who carves but larger object. A disappearing art for sure. MB
wow, that is a true talent. very cool for theme day. i don't see many people whittle anymore.
Mr B is a clever boy. How nice of him to whip these up for your Theme Day post! I especially like the braid. Wow!
A whittler is a guy with band-aids on his thumbs. Seriously, This is nice work. Does he use a pocket knife for all of this or does he use small chisels?
Mr. Brattcat is very talented. Very cool entry to the theme day.
they make a lovely collection
I wish I could doodle like Mr Brattcat.
That is some fancy doodling!
The cat is a cool and very gifted one!
...lovely collection...
Well Mr. Bratt needs to be featured more often right here. THat is amazing work. Bravo!
v
That is excellent doodling! Beatiful works of art and a great photo for theme day. You two make a good team :)
Ooooo, my husband was a talented carver himself. How fun to see Mr. Brattcat's wonderful work. I love seeing the twisted cable, something I use in quilt design a lot. TWO of you talented folks in the same house!

Each wooden doodle looks like a treasure to me. Thank you and Mr bc for sharing.
Great set of wooden art, this is one of the primal art skills of human beings and nothing more pleasant that make something beautiful with your own hands. Perfect post for this theme! Congrats for Mr. Brattcatt.
Very clever selection for the theme day meme!
Did you say he's a surgeon in his "daytime job"?
;-)
Wow!!!
He is VERY creative with wood:-)
Unique designs, its BEAUTIFUL.
Oh wow. If these are just his doodles, I would love to see what he calls his 'projects!'
I haven't seen objects like these in years: they are wonderful. My compliments to Mr. Brattcat: he handles a knife like you handle a camera!
Wonderful.............,
Wonderful photo and wonderful toys!
I see some carvings there that I would like to do. I used to do a lot but slacked off in this old age. I still have large blocks of basswood for carving but lost my ambition. This is beautiful work. Does that chain or rope have a ball inside it that moves up and down?
Yes, Abe. The bottom shot lower right has a ball that moves around inside the little wooden cage. I haven't a clue how Mr. BC does this but I bet you do.
superbe il n y a pas d autres mots !
This is art.Very beautiful....,,
Wonderful choice! These really are very cool wooden works.
I agree.
Mr. Brattcat is amazing! Love the doodles - never knew you could sculpt-a-doodle, doodle scuplt.
Beautiful.
