This is a brief introduction to "Carving Neptune's Trident."

This 2 episode lesson shows how to carve the trident of King Neptune (Poseidon) on the panel of a client's custom-built desk. This is a great grain challenge for any beginner. I'll walk you through the order of cuts to get the illusion of overlapping elements even though the carving is "in reverse."
