Description
Stained/waxed Butternut wood, 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 x 7"
I have a large project in mind involving a lot of carving with traditional hand tools. I don't have much experience so I have to start figuring it out! Here's my first official attempt, which I have based roughly on a plaster casting I have of an art nouveau era carving. It is very challenging for one who mostly paints, but I am thoroughly enjoying the learning process. Learning how to sharpen and maintain all the differently shaped chisels and gouges is a major hurdle in itself, but it is very rewarding when you make very clean and controlled cuts.

Very nice for your first attempt. Make sure you get some leather strops and rouge for sharpening as well, if you have done so already.
Looks great!
