BLOCK HEADS

   Posted by: woodbeecarver   in Carving Projects

 

The faces carved into this two by two inch square block of basswood three inches tall is to be a part of a friendship cane.  Each face was carved using a Murray 529 Knife  pictured in the photograph.  The Whittle-Carving  style of the WOOD BEE CARVER demonstrates what can be done using only a knife. The monochrome finish is a mixture of Raw Sienna artist oil paint mixed with Boiled Linseed Oil followed by an application of the brushing lacquer Deft.

The photograph display that follows shows various views of these block heads. (click on each photo to enlarge)
