Pounamu Weta Sculpture – wip #10

Pounamu Weta Sculpture – wip #10

I’ve been working on the base.

The challenge is to make a natural transition from the footed bottom and squarish, flat sides to a more natural rotted interior and ultimately the Weta.

I’m pleased with how it’s going, hopefully it will be pretty much finished at the end of today.

I want to carve some intricate ” tension” areas in the wood that will slow down your eye as the piece is viewed.

The new wood carving station is working a treat,

more soon
