• From Ernest Miron on Carving a Lion Head

    Wow! That was a lot faster than I thought. Carving seems a much slower craft than it actually is then...

    Thanks Mary for these high quality and fascinating lessons, you´ve awaken my creative spirit again 🙂

      That's great to hear!
      Take your time while you are learning - it will get faster with more time with gouges in hand. Don't try and make it a race! Don't forget to enjoy the journey.

  • From Jennifer Snell on Carving a Donut - Beginner Lesson #6

    Hi Mary! Your online classes are amazing - you explain things so well, and I know I can go back to basics (in this case, the donut!) when I'm having trouble. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, and I am really looking forward to the rest of the lion videos!

    Mary, may I ask you how long did it take to complete this awesome project?

      Hi Ernest, It took just under 3 hours to complete. The video lesson is pretty much "real time" except when I sped things up in the first part of removing a lot of wood. That just gets boring to watch. Fun to do, but not as much fun to watch. I could probably spend another hour or so "fussing" and refining.

  • From Bob Easton on Carving a Lion Head - Episode 1

    Knocking off all the waste wood with a gouge and mallet, instead of the bandsaw, qualifies you for a bowl of ice cream!

    It's good seeing a lion emerge so quickly. 🙂

    Now, off to find wood merchants with thick blocks of butternut....
