Spiraling Fish Carving
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
This relief carving is based on a wood engraving done by M. C. Escher in Nov. 1956. The original was only 3-1/4” square and featured rings of fish diminishing in size toward the center. I had to decide how small I could go with carving the “nested” rings, and it looks like six will be it.The carving is 9-1/2” square in 2” thick Alaskan Yellow Cedar. In the second photo you see a tab of wood I've left attached to clamp the piece to my workbench. The yellow cedar carves nicely, very much like basswood.
