March 19, 2013 MaryMay Videos

Finished linenfold panel.

I just finished another video for the online woodcarving school.

December 17, 2012 MaryMay Videos

I just posted another video on my woodcarving school site on techniques I use to clamp the wood securely – for protection of me, and protection of the wood.

I recently added another video to my online woodcarving school. It is that fabulous, but oh-so-frustrating project of carving a bunch of grapes – and try not to make it look like independent spheres, but a group of shapes all working together. Not easy! It took a lot of practice to get the technique down [...]
