'Rest and Sing' (Phase 1) by Shane Wilson (Moose Antler Carving)
March 13, 1997 Categories: Rest and Sing
This phase represents 5 hours of actual carving and several times that in planning.
I substituted the flying raven with a second raven perched on another branch. It seems to make the composition flow a little better.
I have also added a third wolf, lying down and also howling. I had planned for this wolf to be in front of the left edge, which will become a tree trunk, but I think this will make the composition a little choppy and so will change this to a design where all three wolves will be situated behind the left edge.
Tools thus far have included a drill to make the pilot holes for my Delta 16" Scroll Saw to do the interior cutting and a large, straight, single fluted burr on a Foredom H Series power tool to do the preliminary rough shaping.
