I thought I would try my hand at carving the human body shape. I worked quite a while getting the figure sketched so I could transfer the various views to the wood. I decided to use a clear piece of Alder I had in my stash. The figure was about 14 inches long. After shaping and smoothing down the figure I rubbed in a dark stain and finished with oil ands wax. This was the first and last attempt I made to carve the human figure. I still have the piece in my collection.
