Does anyone out there have suggestions for projects that would in sequence advance ones carving skills? I took one lesson and have been struggling ever since to keep learning, started with a freeform fluted cab and need to know where to go from there.
Thanks

I started carving about 8 months ago and I would recommend looking at the Jade carving sites for some ideas. A basic twist is not too bad. are you carving with diamond burs in a flex shaft or what tools are you using? My first carving was a dragon pendant, it took me 40 hours! I learned a lot and now I can do thinks faster.

start a project, and I'm sure we can help you along.  But as an absolute beginner, I would say stick with abstract and groves of various kind. They are always good to practice on. |

Thank you kk, I started a project and seemed to get stuck, now I know what direction to go.

Thank you kk, I started a project and seemed to get stuck, now I know what direction to go. Tammy Happens all the time. Will post something later today that I started 6 months ago and only now have reached the finish-line (or at least getting there) |
