Outline

This class will focus on carving a little wombat in beautiful Huon Pine using only hand tools and finishing techniques that draw out the inherent characteristics of the subject.

The emphasis is less on anatomical correctness and more on those little aspects that make animals so endearing to us. The tilt of a head, the position of the ears, the way light falls on their features.

The class will cover:

• Timber and tool selection

• Design

• Safety

• Creating a blank

• Carving techniques

• Finishing – sanding, texturing, and painting

• Tool maintenance and sharpening
