That is beautiful work G. I especially like the detail in the 001 and 44
pics. Shows what you can do with a LOT of patience.

Hi and thanks for the positive replies.I do allot of reproductions for
vintage homes and sometimes I design around a theme that someone may have
..The corbels with the star cutouts was designed for a couple that met at a
Texaco station and the corbels with the Texas cutout was designed for a
ranch and it supports the range hood .I use allot of jigs especially when I
do the Victorian style porch trims and ball and stick.

They sure do look nice.
I have to say, I'm glad I'm not the one who has to paint them :)

Late to the thread - as usual - but MORE INFO PLEASE.

Waht's the wood?

Thickness of stock?

Doing most of the cutting out of shapes with a bandsaw?

Routing to final outline with a pattern bit and template then
chisels and files and sandpaper for the rest?

Glue used?

I really like the Texaco star connection - the type of thing
that makes the pieces priceless to the owners and their
sentimental value will increase with time.

What got you into carving? Did start with another type
of woodworking and then get into carving or the other
way around?
