"CRACKS!" Rule #1: If you must debark a fresh log don't forget to bring it in out of the sun! Marking out the working design with chisel. Seen here with Log #1. Still in the working stages... Lots of refinement needed. I'm having second thoughts on the mouth shape. More to follow! This thread is addressing volumes of concerns that us beginners have (thanks BK). One of you veteran carvers should give us a step-by-step overview of proper stone-sharpening (ie: What angle do you hold the blade to the stone? Is there a type of stone that works best? How many passes on the stone should it take?). [ Edited by: FREAKBEAR on 2004-10-13 12:07 ]
