I could not decide what I should try and sculpt it had to be something simple not extravagant since I have no talent. I had a glass Rose
On my desk so I thought that could be my model. Next decision was what material I would use since there was so many restrictions. I chose
Balsam Wood because it is soft and easy to carve. I used 3 pieces before I got the product you see below. I bought a X-acto wood carving set since
I didn’t know what I would need. I tried almost every instrument inside the kit. I used ¼” & 3/16” carving chisel gouge for the top. I used
Whittling Blade for cutting away most of the wood and a carving blade.
Artist have a special talent with which they are born. I can visualize what I want to construct but cannot transfer that vision in to a work of art.
I took me many hours just to achieve what you see not bad I guess for my first sculpting effort.
