[Woodcarver] Flat Plane Carving

[Lynn Diel]

Loren
Thanks for the kind words.
 
In the research that I have done, probably the best explaination I have found is as follows;
Flat plane carving is a carving style where large flat planes are created using primarly a knife and a few gouges. Rounding  or sanding is not typically seen on the carving.
 
I know that this is style of carving is predominately associated with Harley Refsal and Scandinavian carving, but it can be seen in alot of other nations.  One of the finest around is our own Ron Wells who has taught flat plane carving of his special hillbilly and caricature carvings.

Lynn Diel has been studying this art form and has some great nativity
patterns. I know what I think it is but I bet Lynn knows what the pros say
it really is. How about it Lynn. Great question.

How would you verbally describe 'Flat Plane Carving' ??

I can see which carvings *are* and which ones *ain't*. But what is the
description & where is the crossover?
