After the adz work.
Sawn off.
The knife.
Smoothed a bit with the knife and the first lines drawn.
After the first two hours with the knife.
Another view. Time to quit for a while and let the blister on the right index finger cool off a bit.
Now to work with my favorite knife (home made).
One..
Two...
Three more views after another six hours of work. Things go slower as you go, smaller bites as you go deeper. More like sawdust than wood chips.
The finished rose with stem. I have tried multiple versions of petals and have failed miserably. I am getting closer to a working set.
Having tried multiple versions of petals and have failed miserably, I finally got to this point.
The finished product, pending approval.
