Woodcarving Magic
Lee Valley Tools is selling a book called Woodcarving Magic. I was wondering if any carvers here have done similar projects? http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/pag...32&cat=51&ap=1 |

I was wondering if any carvers here have done similar projects? http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/pag...32&cat=51&ap=1 I'd rather try to carve a simple "overhand knot", or my own version of an "infinity sign". But if you find the photo on the cover alluring, go for it! Personally, when it comes to geometric shapes, I think I'd rather try origami, as it is surely *much* faster. Based on the photo on the cover cover, the exercises models appear to be woodcarving challenges for the sake of woodcarving challenges. Acanthus leaves, violin scrolls, and floral motifs seem more natural goals for woodcarving to me. Compared to the two fish I've carved, the photo on the cover leaves me cold. YMMV. Bill I noticed that Amazon allows you to "preview" some of the pages of the book. The "Bird in a cage" looked interesting! Just pay the $15.01 and enjoy it! Bill |
