[Woodcarver] Plowed field

[Lloyd Skeoch]

Thanks to everyone who had suggestions for a plowed field.  Joe, I was 
not really able to see the detail in the picture you sent me, but I did 
use a back and forth movement of the Vtool as you suggested.  I had 
already tried that before but was not happy with the results, but I was 
just pushing it into the wood (pine) and I knew you were a big user of a 
mallet, so I tried it with a mallet and it worked much better, with more 
control.  I also found by moving the V tool up and down a bit, I was 
able to get some fractures along the line of the cut.  Not something you 
would normally want, but to my mind it gives a better impression of the 
broken up nature of a newly plowed field.   I just hope that a wash with 
brown does not destroy it.  I'll put a picture up on my website when I 
have finished painting it.

Thanks again.

Lloyd
