[Woodcarver] Quick question

[Loren Woodard]

Jimmy:

 

I prefer to work all over the piece, not carving in any one area too long.
I like to bring my carving along from top to bottom at about the same rate.
I feel that if you move around on your carving it will help you keep
everything in balance.  Harold Enlow once told me that he does his face
first in case something goes wrong he hasn't invested a lot of time.  With
Harold being such a wonderful carver I'm wondering if Harold does the face
blind folded.  LOL

Subject: [Woodcarver] Quick question

 

For a beginning carver, after blocking out a figure, animal or caricature
carving, what area do you start detailing first? 

This question was brought up the other day and I just assumed that it was up
to the individual. Any other suggestions?   Top - down?   Front to back?

Thanks 

Jimmy B.
