Fundamentals of Woodcarving

Beginner Face--2 of 3 Turn it Intermediate

I show you a detailed explanation of a realistic face that anyone can carve with just 5 basic tools and I also show you how to turn it into an intermediate carving. Check the advanced section to see it turned into an advanced carving.

TOOLS:

If you do not have the same tools, remember you do not have to have the exact same sizes-- just within the same size range. For example a #4 25mm can be replaced with a #2 or #3 in a similar width.

  • #4 -25mm

  • #9 -6mm (gouge)

  • #9 -16mm (gouge)

  • #47 -4mm (v-tool)

  • 6mm Skew

  • 120 grit sandpaper
