Hello dear friends
Today I started a new learning and experimentation project - figurehead of a lion character.
The teacher in the course where I am studying, recommended that I should have a try carving in lime / basswood / linden wood.
After cutting a suitable block of wood,
I glued (Rubber cement) two drawings of the lion in side projections , following the lesson last Friday in which we created a ball.
At first I used a thread saw, but the saws could not handle (broke two) with the size of the block of wood about 4-5 thickness / width.
It was an opportunity to experience the 9 inch band saw purchased about a month and a half ago.
the band saw cut the wood like butter, a pleasure to work with.







So this is where I prepared the outlines of the Hagia and on Friday I will be ready to receive guidance from the teacher.
