With traditional wood carving, there is no modern technology needed. All that is needed to begin is a piece of paper and a pencil. While I’m drawing the design on paper, I visualize the finished product in three dimensions. This ability to think in 3-D allows me to pay attention to the various depths, sizes and movements in the carving. To begin on the carving, the drawing that was done on paper was transferred to the Lime Wood. I then utilized chisels of various sizes to carve the design. This sculpture is 36″ and 4″ deep carved in the style of Grinling Gibbons. Designed by myself. All work done with hand tools except for a scroll saw. The piece was left unfinished.
Carving by hand is only limited by the imaginations of the of the wood carver! Woodcarving is a form of art that only a handful around the world know how to do. There are millions of painters around the world, but not many can carve exquisite pieces of art out of wood.
