Carving A Cowboy Bust – Parts 1 & 2 – Laying Out and Cutting the Blank

With the head carved in the first group of videos we can now move on to the lower part or body of the bust.   This segment will show you how to lay out the blank using a paper pattern, how to cut the blank out on the bandsaw, and how to begin roughing it out.

  One thing I’ve notice about these videos is that they are a high enough quality that you can open them up to “Full Screen”  and not lose that much detail.

More coming…..and comments always appreciated.

  2. Very impressed with your carving - and the photography of the pieces. Equally impressed with the Sand-O-Matic, (sounds like something Wil E. Coyote would use) but I can't find a distributor who would ship to the UK. Can you suggest someone? richard@douglasfoto.force9.co.uk
