Popular Post Ronn W Posted December 21, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 As some of you may recall ( or not), I Started taking on line carving classes from Mary May last spring and took a carving class at Marc Adams school from Alex Grabavotskiy this fall. So enough with just carving practice lessons in basswood. Here are some of my first carved piece. Sides have the background lowered leaving the carving. The rossetes on the doors are carved appliques carved separately. Cheap Woodcraft African Mahogany. Nice wood for carving. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan McCully Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Beautiful work. Just out of curiosity, how long did those carvings take you to do? I know nothing about wood carving, other than the pocketknife whitling I used to do as a kid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say as I only work a little at a time. I would guess that, if I carved continuously (which I can't) each side would take me about 8 to 10 hours. I am not a fast carver. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Wow those sides are awesome i like this cabinet. 8-10 hours sounds awfully fast to me. Some days i feel like it takes half that just to find a pencil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
