[Woodcarver] Tutorials on Bark Carving

[Mike Bloomquist]

Steve,

 

You asked this question inside another thread, so I took the liberty of
changing the message title to better match it.

 

For on-line, free tutorials on barcarving try an article from way back in
the WOM archives by Tony Wispinski.

Then at Sue and Mike Irish's place there's:

Not bark carving, but directly applicable to carving woodspirits in
cottonwood bark.  The same goes for John Jellies tutorial at the Dusty
Mustache:

John's site links wasn't working when I wrote this reply, but keep trying.
Hopefully the server was temporarily down.

 

 

As far as books goes:

 

Carving Tree Bark by Rick Jensen and Jack Williams is my favorite for bark
and gnome homes (especially after having met Rick)  and Carving Found Wood
has a step-by-step woodspirit specifically in cottonwood bark, but 80% of
the rest is a gallery, not instructional.

 

Keep on Carvin'

Hi All...

Are there any good tutorials on cottonwood bark carving?  I have a chance at
getting some bark and thought I'd give it a go.  Have a safe Labor Day
weekend....

 

Best Regards,

 

Steve
