My attempt at carving
After brouseing through Carls's tutorials on deep relief carving I figured I'd give it a try. Doing the carving part is almost addictingly fun. after I got it to the rough shape and tryed to smooth out the bumps but couldn't figure it out, so I used a burnisher on 3500 pulse. That worked to shape things better and push metal around, but then it was covered with little dents everywere. Then after playing with the shape of the scraping tools I finially figured it out. I ground the face of the tool 75 deg. insted of 90 and that seemed to work.
It was defenitly a good learning experince if nothing else. Sorry for the lousey photos, I lost my camera and took them with my phone.
