Several weeks ago I carved a cartouche for my Philadelphia Highboy project in mahogany. What a fun piece to carve! So much going on in such a small pediment.
This is just one of many styles of this ornament that is seen on the top, center pediment of a Philadelphia Highboy.
I carved a second cartouche and filmed the process for my online school. It will also be available for individual purchase. I will start publishing the 5 episodes December 17 (I will be adding one per week through January 14).
Now I need to carve 2 more in walnut!
