Description:

I have learned a tremendous amount from watching and listening to Chris’ videos and observing his techniques. This is a very early (I had been carving for about 2 months) pierced relief carving from Chris’ book, Woodcarving Course & Reference Manual: A Beginner's Guide to Traditional Techniques. It was carved in Chris’ class at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship class in July 2014.
