How do I carve a waterfall

Recommended Posts

Being new to leatherwork and not knowing anyone locally that can teach me how to's in person, I am depending a lot on books to learn techniques. I have been keeping what I do simple and depending on kits, so I haven't done


much as far as carving goes. I bought the book by Al Stohlman "Pictorial Carving Finesse." I am trying to use it to learn how to carve a simple waterfall with the water spray on the rocks. I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out how to do both. I'm wondering if there is a tutorial on this or if someone could do one. I like the book, but some of it is just a bit difficult to understand. I appreciate the help and thanks.

I had a question similar to yours a couple years ago and posted it here. I got some help from Dale H that helped me figure out how to do it a little better. You can see the thread I started here I think I've got some in progress photos I took while I was doing this and I can try and post them if you think they would help you out. There's a lot of people that have joined the forum since that topic was posted so if anyone else has idea on how to do this, I'd like to see them too.
