It's time to wrap this part of the horse project up. Along with the carving tips I'll give you a little lesson on horse anatomy that just might help you to understand just how much the inside of a thing can affect the outside. -
There were several questions on the last post about how thick the head should be. With all the photos associated with this post you should have no trouble figuring that out on your own. Half the fun of doing something is figuring out how to do it.

In the very near future I'll continue this project by moving on to the body of the horse. So if that post is not up when your finished with the head just set it aside for a bit.

Again, there are a lot of photos in the gallery so let's get started.
This blog is the best. Thanks so much for all of the details ....Myron
ReplyDeleteYour carvings are the BEST. It's so great that you pass on your knowledge. Thanks! Jim
ReplyDeleteDo you carve your mules the same way, just longer ears?

Tuesday May 8th. I'm looking at this horse head that I have just carved, thanks to this great blog, and I just don't believe it. Thanks Lynn for the great instruction. Hope to finish with the burning tonight. I am enjoying this project. Thanks again...Myron
ReplyDeleteTodd.....A Mule is basically the same as the horse only the ears are bigger and the mane stands up straight and is much stiffer. Sort of like a flat-top haircut!
ReplyDeleteMyron....Glad you're enjoying the Horse head. I'm working on the body and as soon as I get it done will post the photos and thread.
