Wood carving, a DIY handicraft that constantly makes people want to enter the pit, get out of the pit, and enter the pit again, but when you have a deep understanding of wood carving, you will sink to the bottom of the pit and never want to come out again.
Different from traditional wood carving, most of the wood carving introductions this time are mainly based on some small decorative ornaments, which are suitable for novices to get started.
The first step of wood carving is the careful selection of wood, and generally some woods with texture beauty and stability will be selected, such as huanghuali, red sandalwood, etc.
However, it also needs to be decided according to the object you want to engrave, and it is generally recommended for beginners to get startedBasswood is preferredThe hardness is moderate, and the finished product also has a sense of weight.
Secondly, it is also optionalBalsa woodCompared with basswood, balsa wood will be softer and easier to sharpen, but the weight is lighter.
Others, such as cherry, walnut, camphor, etc., can also be woodcarved, but these woods are relatively hard, with the help of power tools, not recommended for novices.
Once you've chosen the wood, it's time to start sketching and drawing the object you want to engraveFront side, you can draw it on paper first, and then paste it on a wooden block to engrave, or you can draw it directly on a wooden block.
Then you can use a latte saw to see out the silhouette outline of the front along the outer contour lineRemember to leave room for more, you can't see the contour line
ps: The drawing saw is mainly used for shaping, which can reduce the workload of carving and improve efficiency, but if you want to exercise the craft of carving, you can also directly use the carving knife to reduce it little by little.
After that, the wood cut in the previous step is spliced together with tape, and then the contours of the side are sawed out with a wire sawAlways pay attention to the front and rear saw roads in the same line
This is probably a prototype that comes out, and the follow-up is to use a carving knife to slowly correct it, and round the square corners
Wood carving is a handicraft that does subtraction on the basis of wood, so the force of each knife needs to be accurately controlled, "no regrets"!
Tips: During the whole process of carving, you need to wear gloves and operate carefully to avoid injury!
After the engraving is completed, it is also necessary to use sandpaper to repeatedly polish the final work smoothly, and the general polishing order is 180 > 240 > 400 > 800 > 1000 > 1500 > cotton sanding.
After sanding, you can start coloring the work, which is generally usedAcrylic paintsorWater-based paintJust color.
