Great lesson. Just what thw doctor ordered. Lol. This is exactly whete i had my difficulties. Not knowing how to create the illusion that the leaf is curling and twisting. Now i have a much greater concept of how to do it. Looks like the whole objective is to scoop out so u can undercut at the edge of the leaf. Usually in this kind of carving do u undercut the backside first. And in ur opinion which is the best size gouge for scooping out. Thanks.
Basswood is not good for furniture building as it is not very strong. You will want to use harder wood like walnut, mahogany or cherry for actual furniture building.
Very nice. U r a good instructor. This is the type of decorative carving that im intetested in. Do u draw well. This is where i have issues. Lol. How do u go about making ur images larger. And lastly would ur response go to my email or i would have to come back to this page. Thanks.
