Heavenly Star

Ever year I try and make something different to chip carve on and this year was no exception. I made a basswood 24” x 24” x 4” raised star. The ridges on this created unique challenges in both design and execution. I made the 5 points and carved them before I assembled them. I bleached the wood before carving and sealed it with lacquer.

Awesome carving Rog, clean cuts and detail is excellent. The texture is a great touch.
