Some pieces of wood have scenes that need to be revealed. Others turn into familiar objects. Some yield surprises.
Explore My Passion
The art of sculpting a carving begins with an image that sits in the mind's eye. Everything else is just precise motor skills in the hands to craft the multiple dimensions of that view.
Here, I've visualized how I would approach the beginning of a carving. The red dots indicated different depths that I would drill out to help me gauge the amount of wood to remove as I start removing unneeded wood.
