Nice progress, Bruce. Can't wait to see the finished piece.
Dragon & Phoenix
Okay everyone most of the Negative space parts are cut out. So now a great deal of fine tuning, refining and smoothing. Once I complete that I will start to add the color. This will most likely be my last post on this piece until it is completely finished.
What do you use to color? Ink, dye or what?
Okay everyone I continue to carve and refine over the whole project. One of the main things I did was remove a good bit around the head of large Phoenix. I have also have added a great bit of detail on the lower section flames. If you look closely you can also see I have removed the pieces in between the very fragile thin parts.
"Rising From The Ashes"
This piece is made from Ambrosia Maple that was first laid up from three pieces, consisting of three inch thick slabs 9" x 16" and then turned on the lathe. Once the form was achieved, it was turned to various thicknesses to accommodate the carving that was to be done. After sanding the form. my design was hand drawn with pencil and sealed with lacquer. The entire drawing design is my own original creation. Then the carving began using knives, gouges and a Dremel with bits and burs. The color was achieved from a product called Rub N Buff. The piece's final dimension is 7 inches by 13 inches tall.
