Apple carving by Kulinary Design Group. Carve a hummingbird for the Valentine's Day!

Let's carve a small hummingbird. All you will need is a small knife, an apple and a couple of toothpicks. I would advise to use a special Thai carving knife as it works the best.

You can see the whole process is in our video or scroll done for photo instruction:

1. Cut the apple into four pieces as shown in the picture. They will be made into two wings, a tail and a body.

2. Two bigger pieces are going to be the wings.

3. Carve the edges of the wings to give them a feathery look.

4. Then work on the hummingbird's body:

You should try to achieve a shape like this:

5. Carve the bird's tail to give it a few feathers:

6. Connect all the parts with the toothpicks. One of them serves as a beak and sticks into a stand. The bird's eyes can be made by inserting the cloves or the peppercorns.

Here is our hummingbird! 

In this video we show how to cut out the words in an apple:

Watch the creation of the glasses stand. Guest post by VZBRELO

This is one more guest post by the VZBRELO girls. You can find a list of all their "behind the scene" post here.

Hello all again! Today I would like to share a story of one of our favourite custom orders ever. Can you guess what it is?

We got an order to make a stand for the glasses. To be honest, we had no idea that an accessory like that existed. However it did not take us long to come up with a design.

It had to be a computer Mouse )

We started with a sketch:

The material for the order was a piece of pear wood. This wood was so nice that I fell in love with it )

First we cut out a block of wood:

Then we gave it a shape:

Worked on the Mouse's face:

Then sanded and polished it:

Here it is finished and stained:

Meet our Mouse:

We hope you enjoyed our story!
