The wheel is finished so now we start the figure. The drawing to the left has all the pieces along with the measurement of the body which will give you the sizes of the other parts. As his arms will be stretched while to make his loop we'll attach them. But don't worry about that now we're only concentrating on the body blank.-
You'll note that the wheel he's leaning against is tilted back a bit. I did this to give a more pleasing appearance to the piece. Having it stand straight up would make the whole piece look stiff. Also, as how he comes into contact with the wheel is very important we will do the base before we actually carve the body. This might sound kind of odd but you'll see the logic as we move along.

So, let's get started! Lots of photos in the Gallery.
Thanks Lynn. This is great....Myron
ReplyDeleteLynn,
ReplyDeleteGreat project which, due to an unexpected trip to Washington DC, I haven't started yet. Hope to get caught up this weekend. Will attempt to "do ya proud" but can't guarantee it as I'm beginning to think I still have a lot to learn ;O)). Thanks for making the instructions available to those not quite as gifted as yourself.

Lynn,
ReplyDeleteI hope this is going to be another step-by-stepper. I don't believe you have ever done a body with arms and hands before.
