[Woodcarver] Carving basswood egg question

[Rod TerMaat]

That was good advice, I am never quite sure how to do orientation before I 
start carving.  Come to find out, I've been doing it wrong (surprise). Any 
other advice on layout.  Is the most detailed part of the carving ideally 
endgrain?

Incidentally, I attended my first carving club meeting in Omaha, Ne over 
the weekend.  Wow, there must of been 50+ people there.  I have never 
thought too much of relief carving, but one gentleman was carving a 
butternut portrait that was beautiful - it really opened my mind. 

I was only there 3 hours and doubled what little carving knowledge I have. 
 Everyone was quite a bit older than me so there should be a lot of 
knowledge available for transfer to my small brain.  I saw everything from 
beginning classes, caricature, lovespoons, pyro - something.

It is best to put the front of the face on the edge of the grain.  That 
makes the nose stronger and less likely for the tip to flake off and also 
avoid target-like grain effects on the cheeks, etc.
