Well done, Neil! I see the layered effect of the rosettes as you made some cuts/chips at a steep angle to change the shadow. Cool!
MartyWelcome, Steve. It’s nice to get a bit of background on you and your carvings!
I’ll be posting my introduction soon 🙂
MartyGood thoughts, Neil. I’ll be carving about 30 of these ornaments in the months ahead and I plan on cutting them out first. Most years I’ll carve them on the full board first. But as Neil mentioned, this year I’ll carve them already cut out so I can easily get the low angle with my knife carving the Old World Style.
MartyHI Steve,
I use the Pattern Transfer Tool for all pattern application and sanding nice and smooth before application makes a big difference.
Same is true when tracing over graphite transfer paper or drawing directly on the wood.
So I sure to agree with you on this!
Marty
