I am for simplicity! This is my motto in life. Surely each of you, starting some new thing, always studied the basics. So in working with a tree, it is impossible to create a masterpiece if you do not know the elementary things, such as the properties of the tree. You will find the woods in the forest, cut out the semblance of a spoon (maybe it will turn out), and then it turns out that this is a berry is a poisonous tree and all the Khan, it will be the last meal that you tried from your masterpiece!
And therefore, start with simple. After all, even intricate crafts made of wood, it is only a combination of ordinary elements in a more volumetric picture.
Today we will disassemble a very simple way to create a picture, by carving on wood. Create a hairpin.Take the area you like to texture, roll off the piece required by length and thickness. I took the cherry, the length of the blank is 18 cm, width 7, the desired thickness of 7-8 mm. We draw a circulation (or with screwdrivers) a circle, diameter 5cm, it will be the basis of our hairpin.
The prepared surface of the plank can be stuck or aligned with a knife, so that it would be convenient to apply and cut the drawing.
In this thread, we will use only one element, but we repeat it 8 times. This will allow you to fill your hand and create a beautiful pattern.
To a circle, I add the legs of the hairpin, I have both "foot of the cowboy", first diverge, then approach the tips. We select the necessary thickness , it is important not to overdo it, and not in plus, not in minus. Too thick will be bad to enter the hair, but too thin, can break with further processing.
We divide the circle on eight equal parts and spin them a bit.
Cut out our hairpin along the contour of the jigsaw. If there is no jigsaw, you can drink (where it will fit) or with a unnecessary knife.
Since I did not align the surface in advance, I do it now (it is possible on a grinding machine, but you can simply sandpaper).
We highlight the face of the picture, we make them as symmetrically.
Slash through the V-shaped chisel (corner) all drawing lines. If there is no similar chisel, we make it a small knife. And now Each part weigh on one side . That is, we create, like blades. And thus, we go through the chisel on each of the eight blades, on the one hand it is high, and on the other, cut to the base of the next. Remove the volume of small parts, whatever the workpiece.
Someone, maybe such a kind of hairpin, then you will be able to clean the sandpaper only the legs of the hairpin. But I love smoother surfaces And therefore, I'm going to "sandpaper" and the drawing itself, smugging his texture.
I remembered that I had a small round stone, I decided to decorate the center of them. To do this, cut the desired diameter with a hole and the glue gave pebbles.
What looks like a picture on this hairpin? On propeller? On a flower? Or something else?
