Northmount Report post Posted January 19, 2014 I think your practice pieces are pretty great. Finger carving is very nice. I need to do some practice finger carving! Maybe takes more of an artist's eye than what I have. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RiverCity Report post Posted January 19, 2014 Looks good! I'll offer a suggestion you can use to see your progress. Get some craftaids, like the Sheridan belt ones. That way you have the exact same starting point each time. Carve them several times on scrap, and you can see how each one gets better as your work evolves.

CountryStyle Report post Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks guys! Tom I promise you I am probably the least artistic person here! I transferred the design to cased leather and then cut it. I'm trying to focus on my quality of cuts. Chuck that is a great Idea. This piece was actually made using a craftaid so I may have to keep using it. Thanks!
