During this carving, I ran into a small problem with a knot. It blew out the whole face of the angel. I was going to try to chisel out a square and put a block in, but am going to try a mix of fine sawdust and glue first. I know I will lose the grain detail, but I wouldn’t have a perfect matching grain pattern anyhow with a block of wood. Guess I’ll see how it comes out in a few days.
That looks awesome otherwise.
@becker_thorne Thanks.
@Hobby_Fab Thanks.
You did a great job there. I have something a little similar I am hoping to get going here soon.
It’s amazing how quickly you are mastering 𝑅𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑓 carving. That looks amazing jack.
@becker_thorne Thank you. That should look great. Can’t wait to see how it comes out.
@Kelly_Burns I would have to give credit to @Hobby_Fab for an awesome machine, Vectric for awesome software, and all the talent of others sharing their tips, tricks and secrets.
@Hobby_Fab That’s very kind of you to say. I was, and still am seriously considering just calling it finished as is. I kinda like the little chips, splits and cracks in it. The piece of wood used for it actually does have some personal history to it.
