Here are a few projects from previous classes.
The first project, the pretzel, teaches all the basic cuts, working with grain in all directions, rounding, and seeing three dimensions..
The snowman adds some detail with concentration on rounding.
From there some students go on to carve Santas or wood spirits. The bell ornament below is a favorite (Thanks to Joe Dillett for allowing me to use his wonderful pattern!).
The Iris relief is a more advanced project…all students did fantastic jobs!!!
I always encourage students to bring their own ideas and I will work with them to help them design a carving that reflects their own visions.
First project is a pretzel
Second project.
