Chapters 5 and 6 of the Dragon and Acanthus Lesson have just been added to the online woodcarving school. I think I am about half-way through editing this project. It’s sort of an ordeal going through and editing this – it’s like carving it all over again. Even though I am not doing a lot […]

New Video on Carving a Classic Shell and Acanthus Design
Last night I added another video to my online woodcarving school. It contains about 2 hours of the process of carving a very classic design of a shell in the center and acanthus leaves scrolling on either side.

This is carved in basswood. I filmed this process and the video will be part of an online class offered through the Popular Woodworking […]
