Members x4pickuptruck Posted June 19, 2013 Members Report Posted June 19, 2013 I am still working on my carvings but one of my first project is going be a nice sheath for my buddies big a$$ knife. But I dont know if I should do the shaping first or carving. I would say carving but I wouldnt want to lose that detail when I do the shaping. Thoughts??? Quote
Members Cyberthrasher Posted June 19, 2013 Members Report Posted June 19, 2013 Depends on the item. Something like that I would cut out the shape first and then tool it up. Be sure to back it with something like packing tape or posterboard so it doesn't stretch out and lose it's shape as you're tooling.
