Hello My Friends!!!
Today I am working on The Shark Totem!!! This is a great technique to achieve a rough cut out to start carving. I design a side view and then a top view of the shark on a piece of paper. Then I trace my pattern on a piece of Poplar and start to cut it out, using my band saw. I stop every once in a while and add some tape to keep the pieces all together and secure. When I am done, I take the tape off and I have a great 3 dimensional cutout. I will then start to carve on it and make it life like. This technique will work on just about any object you wish to create and saves you lots of money. You can buy rough cutouts of just about any animal, or object. I must add that through my step by step processes on this Blog, I am not liable for any accident that may occur. Safety is always a key to success. If you are new to carving, then I strongly suggest you buy a cut out. This will give you excellent enjoyment and learn the basic principles of wood carving.
Until Next Time!!!
