Tools and materials I propose:
In this video I finish a project I started back in 2016. Its's a woodcarving of a mountain man from Crete.
Once I had my design ready, I created a canvas on my wood so I could easily transfer it on it’s surface.
Using the V tool I cut outside the line. Then I used my gouges to roughly remove the material needed.
The sculpture is divided into three sections of deepness.
Then it was just a matter of following the grain and trying to match the curves of the gouges with the design.
Once I was done with the hand carving I used my rotary tool to even things up. I used several bits depending on the situation I had.
I then sanded the piece and added some texture on the rocks, hair and a couple of other parts of the piece.
I finished the piece with three coats of clear water based varnish. I lightly sanded with 400grit between coats.
Finally my Cretan is ready. But that was it, see you soon with a new project video.
