A future rearranging buckets to catch drips and save carpets awaits. Beware of what you wish for.
You should have put a label "van" on the bottom one for the sake of continuity.
An active imagination you say? Tell me more.

Thanks I was struggling without the label to know what it was.
Do you really need the labels?
Look out for stealth label swapping 😉
I like it.
The only reason for the van is the start of a really weak joke that I am fond of...
Jim Morrison never used a Van
Van Morrison never used a gym
As I said, it is a weak joke and I can't find a good image if Van Morrison so it fails on that level too
Take the labels off!
Good work, and good luck with your latest creative venture.
how much for the labels?
The positioning of the van is giving me a nervous tick.
Centred or towards bottom right please - towards top left is just wrong!
😀

Me too! It is very noticeable.
Laser cutter/engraver?
My eyes are drawn toward the stand, I dont think you should use a wooden stand. How about adding Doris Day in the bottom right then doing an auto stand and have a T5 too
Otherwise, really cool and very talenbted, good luck and I hope you sell loads of them 🙂
Is Audrey a bit pissed? Or boss-eyed? 😯
The van is there because I am not happy yet with my Mohammed Ali but I will probably replace it. Thanks for the input, it was the main reason for posting this.
All free hand engraved with a Dremel and special engraving bits.
Labels are only blu-tac so I can remove them. Can you all recognise the people without them?
Audreys 'straw' goes into a bottle of gin just to the right of the canvas...
...or it was one of my earlier attempts.
retro83 - Labels are £35 and come with a free supply of engrave fire kindling

It's hard from such rare images 😉
I was actually going to suggest doing an Ali one!

Agreed, I like the one of Lenny Kravitz.
That is not Lenny Kravitz. it is bloody Marilyn Monroe!!!
Yeah right DezB. Have you seen how fiddly that top she is wearing would be!
What about a portrait of David Dickinson I think that would come out like a real bobby-dazzler
That is not Lenny Kravitz. it is bloody Marilyn Monroe!!!
In the hat? 'd have said Benicio Del Toro, But I do like the one of David Ginola
[i]Yeah right DezB. Have you seen how fiddly that top she is wearing would be![/i]
Simple: boobies 🙂
That is not Ginola! It is Audrey Hepburn

Ali isn't varnished yet so a bit lighter. Do you think the engraving is too small? Would Adding "Ali" in script to the top left help?
All free hand engraved with a Dremel and special engraving bits.
Wow! I do apologise - very impressive work indeed.
Ended up going for Ali instead of the van

yours for a modest £35 each. If you contact the artist directly I can smudge that price. Commissions considered...
@WCA - how did you price your work?
My woodturning has improved to the stage that I should think about selling and the general rule of thumb seems to be based on time at £20/hr - and materials.
I picked a selling price, the Wood Recycling Project.told me the commission they would take and I get whart is left.
I have done it for fun, not profit so far but it almost matches your formula for pricing. I guess that means something about my price perception .
How much for the one of Ernie?

How much for the one of Ernie?
Ernie is just delighted to be captured in the same scene as Ali.
They are really cool WCA. I particularly like the Morrison one. Well done for getting your stuff out there. I do a bit of woodburning portraits of musicians so this is right up my street. Good luck.
