[Woodcarver] Plowed field

[Lloyd Skeoch]

Hi, I haven't been very active on this list for a long time, and in fact 
I have not even had the desire to pickup the carving tools since my wife 
died in December, but finally motivation and a birthday deadline has got 
me moving. 

What I am looking for is any suggestions on how to carve the appearance 
of a plowed field.  I am carving a tractor and driver, and I want to set 
it on a base of a plowed field with an inscription across the front.  
The size of the base is about 8 by 12 inches and about 1.5 inches 
thick.  I plan to cut a 45 degree bevel half way up around the base and 
that is where I will put the inscription, it is the appearance of a 
plowed field that has me stumped.  Any guidance or if you can point me 
to an example of one I would appreciate it.

Lloyd
