Carving or Tooling Images of Beadwork


Recommended Posts

Has anybody tried carving or tooling images of beadwork?

On pg. 57 of Al Stohlman's FIGURE CARVING, he shows a carved beaded eagle bonnet trailer and man's shirt. Anybody ever carve this, or anything else with beadwork: moccasins, pipebags, saddle trappings, etc? Got any samples you can post?

How do you carve this???
