Re: Wood carving projects
Nothing fancy just rounding edges and adding some v cuts. Then decide on a color for paint.

Re: Wood carving projects
Do you first use a coping saw or other type of saw to cut the large portions of unneeded wood from your block?
Re: Wood carving projects
Thanks. Sometimes you just have to saw them like that to start.
Re: Wood carving projects
I’ve been on the scroll saw quite a bit lately cutting out ornaments, I need to get a 1/8 blade for my bandsaw, it’s sure a lot quicker. I’ve made 6 more Grinch ornaments and a crescent moon shaped Santa one. I’ll post some pics when I get him painted.
Re: Wood carving projects
A couple pics of holiday carvings I’ve done the last couple years.

Amazing what happens when a patient person is given a sharp knife. And talent helps too.

What kind of wood do you use for the ducks?OLDE CUTLER wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2018 3:17 am Thanks for your comments. I have been carving decoys, both full size and mini since 1986. Never really tried to sell them. We have quite a "flock" around the house now. On the full size, I still use my Grandpa's RT Brand draw knife that is over 100 years old. Wow, what an edge you can put on that one.
