Carving a Live Oak Applique

This lesson teaches how to carve a simple applique of a majestic live oak tree. It was carved to be the focal point of a fireplace header, but the possibilities for applique installments are always endless. This isn't my typical, precision lesson with sharp lines and smooth surfaces. In fact, it's a perfect example of just how much life can be given to certain carvings by leaving and even accentuating different kinds of tool marks.

In this highly detailed and practical lesson from a classical woodcarver, you see every step so you can develop your own carving abilities. It's one of those lessons you'll want to watch again and again.

This lesson includes:

• Two video episodes in 1080p HD resolution totaling 57 minutes running time.

• One printable file with a template, tool list and photo.
