The carving is going to plan and seems to be coming on nicely. The sunburst is nearly completed and has been an interesting challenge to do. I try to cut each stage as cleanly as possible,aiming to leave a crisp finish that does not need hours of work with scrapers and sand paper.
The figures are all set in and I am about to block out the buildings. I will mark out all the detail then settle down to the fiddly bits. I tend to do faces and hands all together as I need to be in the right frame of mind and feeling brave!
