This week I managed to spend a few evenings carving in the workshop. Was nice to lay out all the chisels and chip away, I also had a great audio book I was listening to so the perfect combination!
I did make a few things difficult for myself, I shouldn't have left such a tight gap around the leaves - made it very difficult to tidy up.
I added a bit of shape to the leaves before carving the veins into them. I think more practice with this type of shape and curve would be great.
I then added detail to the two centre circles, I decided to make them rosettes like I had previously carved for practice - smaller so used a different range of chisels.
Next I need to carve a decorative band top and bottom to finish this one off, but I have a feeling it will be simple as there is already a lot going on!
Anyone else carving much at the moment?
