Thanks Amate and BigT, good to be finding a little time to knock out a carving again. Seems
its been a pretty busy year...a couple extra irons in the fire..fun stuff but limits carving
time. You're right Amate, we're always looking for something a little weird, or we'd all be
carving bears and eagles, right?
The "shadow test" is pretty helpful to me BigT, helps to define areas that need a little more
work to balance things out, areas that need to be sanded better, etc. Darkness and shadows
are a pretty big part of the "mood" we're striving for...I think.
Gonna have a little time this weekend...hoping to make some real progress and perhaps
dive into some BIG basswood that I have sitting around.
