Hi,

For those of you who may be interested, I’m going to share my pattern with you.

It may help some of you get a start with woodcarving.

Check on this site if you're new at carving, it has terrific free tutorials.

You can copy it to any scale you wish, & trace it onto a board of your choice.

The first thing to do is establish the depth, by stop cutting about 1/4” to 3/8” deep, around the whole pattern. it depends on how deep you want the relief to be.

You can use the images in my projects for a model.

Thank you Lee,

I just added a tutorial link, for newbies at carving.

I don’t think you need this though.

Okay Dick, you talked me into it, so what wood do you recommend for easiest carving? I have several different carving chisels I got from my dad, so tooks aren’t a problem.

Hi Brian,
Most people prefer basswood, but white pine, or ponderosa pine is good.

If your doing relief carving look for 1/4 sawed wood for best results.

Cedar is also nice carving, I’ve carved with many types of wood. I have fun trying something different.

As you can see I even used OSB, but I don’t recommend this for a beginner.

Thanks Dave.

If you can use it for that, do it. I didn’t tie any strings to it.

I wish you the best with your marquetry project.
