Carving Sacagawea: Roughing in the face with rotary and hand tools

Part 2 of carving Sacagawea from red cedar driftwood. First, I'm roughing in the faces (she's carrying her baby) with my Foredom rotary tool. I've just picked up a set of burrs from Kutzall and I'm very happy with them. After the Foredom, I switched to chisels and knives.

The design is absolutely brilliant how it complements the twists and curves of the timber👌 you never cease to amaze me 🤯

[@StockmanOriginal]

Thank you Dave, out in Oregon they call these windknots and now I see why. It’s got such great movement in it.

[@davedelany2116]

@@StockmanOriginal also possible that the structure is built up by the tree being hit by winds, forcing it to bulk up the support of its branches 🤔

Just occasionally it would be lovely to be able to see something through someone else’s eyes. Even with the face drawn I still only see a piece of wood but obviously you don’t? It’s looking good though.

[@StockmanOriginal]

Thank you my friend, yeah this is a pretty cool piece to be working on. It’s going really good so far! 🤔

[@ashleyanderson2859]

How often do you have to sharpen your tools in material like that?

[@StockmanOriginal]

Hi Ashley! It’s not too bad but this has been floating around in the ocean and all it’s sand for a long time though. So far it’s been pretty good.
