As it’s Sunday, I spent the morning doing low-impact #woodworking. Lowered the ground around this #acanthus leaf. It’s my first, and also the first carving I’ve done in a month or two, so a slow warm-up was welcome. This was about 2.5 hours, though there was some time spent sharpening the gouges.

The gouges are (in Pfeil numbering), an 8mm skew, a 6mm 60°︎ V, a 20mm #3, a 14mm #5, a 12mm #7, and a 12mm #9. The 5 and the skew get the most use, but all six were needed. #woodCarving
