Davm Report post Posted April 19, 2022 Floral and scroll type leaves or oak leaves and acorns? Which do you prefer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kseidel Report post Posted April 19, 2022 Generally speaking, acorn/oak is more forgiving and patterns can be easier to draw and do not have as much variety and detail in the elements of the pattern, and do not require as many tools. There are many styles in the field of floral carving. Some are fairly simple and basic, while others are very detailed and intricate. They are totally different styles and appeal to different clients. Preferences can be somewhat geographic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oltoot Report post Posted April 19, 2022 Floral was easier for me before even that wasn't. I did some oak leaf but I always had to draw them out, in detail on paper first, then trace. That was just me, though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
