Woodcarving... A Relaxing Hobby
The Relief Hockey Project
A co-worker of mine commissioned me to do a relief carving of her son. The photo was of him playing hockey. It was quite the project. I dove right in getting her to bring in the gear so I could take photos and measure each item. I then translated the sizes to the scale of the piece. I work full time so it wasn't finished for like 6 or 8 months from the time I started. It was many many hours of work but I think it turned out pretty good.
My first fish... Brook Trout
This fish was carved out of a Fish Carving Book by Bob Barry. I would say the most challenging part for me on this project was painting it. The book includes painting directions using and air brush. I followed them but used only paint brushes. I am happy with the results.
