      I try to get that finish with carving tools, but sometimes you may need to use sandpaper. Just be careful to not sand away the fine details. Also make sure you use sandpaper that doesn't leave bits of grit in the wood (Mirka is a great one that does not leave grit), or if you decide to carve on the surface again your tools will get dull quickly.

    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.
