Wood carving the Cretan mountain man on basswood

 



























Tools and materials I propose:

PFEIL Carving Set

Flexcut starter carving set

Foredom Woodcarving Kit


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.
