Stranger for me in this carving

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Stranger for me in this carvingI used maple wood but these Saburr 1/8 and 1/4” shaft size bits saves me mucho money for they last and last.I leave the patterns on the wood as a guide to tell me where to start grinding. I also have another picture sitting next to this process as another guide.The wood was over 1” thick so I had lots of room to get wild on grinding deep.Almost every thing I do is an experiment in this type of carving – grinding learning curve to make these things and spraying the backer board black was another shot at being different. It shows the cut out areas better.Wife had to point out there was an animal thingy and you have never done anything with something like this..and it was sure good that his body was mostly hid behind the trees and things.This was another weekly project and I would be interested as to how long a real wood carver would have taken untill he hung it on the wall.I used water base paint and only used just a few drops of color in the little air brush bottle filled with water…Then clear semi-gloss rattle can lacquer for the top coats.
