Here is the third king of the Magi. I took more progression pictures to better show the carving process.
Wow! Beautiful grain! |
I start out by transferring the pattern to a piece of butternut and cutting out the blank on a band saw. |
Front view. |
I removed wood from the sides of the head face. |
Back view. |
Next I begin to remove wood from under the arms and taper the forearms and hands. |
Back view showing wood removed from under arms. |
I cut in the sleeves and begin to remove the wood between. |
I begin to round off the body shoulders and head wrap. |
Rough in the crown. |
Create folds in the head wrap and bottom of the robe. |
Remove the wood from the back and sides of the frankincense holder. |
Carve the details of hands, face and crown, and begin sanding. |
Finished sanding and profiling with 80 grit. |
Continue sanding switching to 150 grit . |
