  Gentle Carvers:



  I've just today finished the 9th Station of the 14-carving series call "Stations of the cross". This one is titled "#9 Jesus falls the third time".


  It is posted to the following site:
  http://www.wwwoodcarver.com/StationsOfTheCross/Stations_of_the_Cross.html#8


  This particular carving required some really tricky perspective in very shallow relief. Keep in mind that the total depth of the actual carving is 1-1/4". The panel itself is 1-3/4" thick, leaving only 1/2" thickness for the supporting background. In fact, the actual face of Jesus is carved in less than 1/2" thickness, including the beard, but not the crown of thorns.


  The paving stones that pass under the figure and the cross had to be carved in a concave manner in order to allow more thickness for carving the objects above the stones. 


  Again, I value your comments and encouragement. Please also feel free to ask questions.


  Blessings and Peace,


  Bill
