Yes, this is very sculptural. And I'll be honest - if I carved this again, the process could be completely different. It is really the process of figuring out what to do first, what to do second, etc. and how each affects the other elements in the design.
I had a Red Oak board that had several dents in it, which looked like had been caused by a metal object like a hammer. So after watching your lesson, I applied some Distilled Water to the damaged area, and not having an Iron, I just let it sit to dry. About 2 hours later I observed that the dents were entirely gone.
Hello Colin,
That would probably be more of a "whittling" project, where you would hold it in your hand and carve with smaller knives or small palm gouges. You will probably find youtube videos on this type of carving, but this isn't really the style I teach.
