CFM chuck123wapati Posted June 24 CFM Report Posted June 24 That's pretty darn good. I'll bet it looked great finished up. Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

I just splashed some antique on it lol. Ill update if I can get a photo from the recipient. It was fun to do. I did 1 other but in my late night stupor I forgot my resist so the whole piece ended up muddy. Oh well , means I got to carve it twice! Quote
Members emily_rodriguez1212 Posted June 25 Members Report Posted June 25 That looks absolutely incredible, especially considering it is only 4" by 2.5"! Packing that amount of clean detail into such a small space is seriously impressive. The texture on the wolf's fur is spot on, and you did an amazing job creating a real sense of depth with the background mesas and the moon. Figure carving on this scale requires a ton of patience and excellent knife control, but your beveling and shading look super crisp. Beautiful work, thanks for sharing it with us! 🥰 Quote

Figure carving really is 95% beveling and matting. Cuts do have to be right on too, or your figures will look wonky haha.. dont ask how I know lol Quote
