How to Carve 3 Simple Leaves - 1 Introduction

Описание: Relief carving basics? Start here! In this short series we'll carve 3 leaves, each one a little more challenging. We'll learn how to approach single-subject relief carvings and some fundamental skills.
Of course, relief carvings can be a lot more complicated - you'll find other examples on the WoodcarvingWorkshops1 channel.

This lesson focusses on setting up: the wood, designs, holding etc. Each leaf won't take too long and carving more and other leaves would be excellent practice. How about tiling a wall in leaf panels?

Of course, relief carvings can be a lot more complicated - you'll find other examples on this site.

WOOD: Choose a wood that's easy to carve; don't make life difficult. I'm using Limewood (Tilia sp.) but Basswood, Brazilian Mahogany or mild Oak for example will do; anything that is tight-grained and fairly easy to push your carving tool through: pines, birches etc. Maple, Beech or Cherry woods are all too hard.
