YUKON SEASONS: LEFT

YUKON SEASONS: LEFT - PHASE 4

August 9, 2001

Similar to the fourth phase for the right side, I have roughed out the main planes with both straight and tree shaped burrs of various sizes. I find it works well to define a plane on the side furthest from the viewer with a smaller straight burr, then remove the material toward that line with a tree burr and finish with the straight burr to clean up the line. I find that this process repeats itself throughout the roughing out process, using burrs of various sizes depending on the area being worked.

I mentioned that I was going to help out on a farm in the last update (Right Phase 4). Haying. I did go and had a blast, for about half an hour. After that it was a lot like work. Finally recovered after a week, I'm going back again tomorrow. Terrible to say, but I have been glad for the rain that till now has prevented further reaping. :)

Till next time,

Shane
