• From Bob Easton on Carving Reeds on a Table Leg

    I agree with Clint. There are all sorts of carvings we see in the backgrounds of these videos ... on window sills, on shelves, hanging on the walls.

    Take us on a tour of the shop. Make a video showing us all these treasures. Then, ask which ones we want to see videos of.

    Wow Mary; sandpaper! You are so practical; artistry is in the final form, not necessarily the method. Thanks for this display of practicality. By the way - the acanthus panel that can be seen behind you in the intro - wow! Couldn't persuade you into demonstrating that one could we?

      Clint, Thanks for your comments. Yes, I am reluctant to admit that sandpaper does come out on occasion - hate the stuff! Scrapers would work for this process also, but I have not used them enough to really feel confident.

      Yes, I can do a demo of that acanthus. Why not??? I do like to hear what people are wanting to see. Thanks!

    As always you drop tidbits of wealth along the way - Like using the flat gouge (if grain allows) to reduce facets. Great info and why your whole library together is so fantastic.

      Mary:

      I would second the nominations of carving volutes (and the choice of straight vs curved edge gouges) and carving trifid feet.

      Thanks, Dale

        Hi Dale,
        What type of volutes? I have the lesson on carving scrolls and one on the violin scroll (the ultimate volute). What specifically are you wanting to see?

        Trifid feet on the schedule.
