Carve an Old World Santa ornament combining two
styles of wood carving. The face is carved in traditional full relief, and the
beard and areas around the hat are carved in a pierced relief fashion. This adds
texture and interest, creating negative space also adds dimension and lends a
nice flow to the carving. The small size of this project also cuts down on the
investment of time and is a great way to build your confidence in creating
realistic facial features before committing to larger carvings. In this project
special attention is paid to the details of the carving process enabling the
viewer to readily understand and grasp the carving techniques.
Carve along in this easy to follow, step by step procedure, which will allow you
to finish your Santa ornament right along with Mark. Starting with the
blank, to the roughing out of the ornament, then on to the intricate facial
details, flowing hair, and beard. All aspects of the carving of the Santa
ornament are covered.
Also covered in full detail is finishing with a simple, but effective 4- step
process, the final touches that will bring your Santa carving to life! Carving
from blanks is an excellent experience in expanding your creativity levels.
There are many variations that can be applied to these carvings, which are only
limited by your imagination. The goal of this DVD is not only take you through a
step by step carving instruction, but hopefully techniques learned, are further
incorporated into each carvers individual styles to create pieces uniquely their
own. The techniques learned in this DVD can also be used to carve ornaments in
basswood egg turnings, dowels, blocks, walking sticks, and bark.
"Carving Elf Ornaments",is a spinoff of, "Carving
Santa Ornaments" The carving maintains its basic form by utilizing the same
triangular shape blank, while still hinging on the pierced, and full relief
carving styles. Carving instruction begins with roughing out and establishing
proportion in the basswood blank. Then it's on to isolating the facial features,
which includes the mouth, lips, chin, jaw line, eye mounds, and ears. Also
emphasized and covered in full detail, is laying out the mound for the mouth,
the essential basic foundation necessary for portraying correctly detailed
facial expressions in this area of the face. Applying a natural type finish is
also demonstrated step by step, and a special product is discussed which will
reveal how to convey more realism in the eyes of your carvings. The corner stone
of this DVD is the special attention that's paid to the details of the carving
process enabling the viewer to easily grasp the carving techniques to carve
their very own and unique carving. Carving from blanks is an excellent
opportunity in expanding your creativity levels. You will find that after you
have carved a few Elf ornaments, that by moving the measurements around some,
and making some changes to the facial features, the expressions you can create
are many. Though there are realistic overtones in these carvings, Carving Elf
Ornaments are not realistic carvings, but if you choose, can certainty be carved
that way. Carving Elf Ornaments are just my interpretation of these mythical
beings and I carve them to what appeals to me. After experimenting with these
carvings I am sure you'll discover your own interpretation of Carving Elf
Ornaments.

Having trouble getting your carving tools razor
sharp? In Sharpening Simplified, I will show you a simple proven method to get
your carving tools properly contoured and sharp, each time you sharpen them.
I’m an award winning carver, with more than 30 years of carving experience. I
have taught carving classes for two decades, and was an independent distributor
of pre-sharpened carving tools for 17 years. Over the years, I have perfected a
unique, easy to learn, sharpening technique which I have taught to hundreds of
carvers. This process was so well received that my students kept telling me,
“make a video”, you need to share this!
Professionally made in a studio, the 110 minute DVD is divided into nine color
coded segments:
1 Introduction
2 Sharpening Position

4 Carving Knives
5 Gouges / Veiners

9 Conclusion
Each segment of tool sharpening starts with me showing what each tool should
look like when it is properly sharpened and why; then I actually sharpen the
tool to show how to achieve a sharp and properly contoured tool. Comments
accompany each process as I show you the steps.
