    Doubles rope walking stick.

    Posted: 17 Sep 2021 05:45 PM PDT

    Okay. So we had a nice little hurricane hit houston. And it dropped some good sticks. I'm looking to carve a walking stick, more specifically a double rope stick.

    Think an intertwining vines. I have no idea how to do this. And while I can logic out a single swirl I can't get my brain to crate a double rope going in opposite directions.

    Help please.

    Making concave shapes smooth

    Posted: 17 Sep 2021 01:14 PM PDT

    When carving little figures I mostly struggle with one thing: concave shapes along the grain of the wood.

    When trying to make a smooth and round transition between the little layers of the wood it works as long as I carve from higher to lower. When carving in the other direction the knife cuts into the wood and leaves ugly little "cracks" (for the lack of a better word) But when carving concave shapes I have to cut down in both directions, so the center part will always end up being less smooth than I want it to be. For most pieces I just solve this problem with a little sanding, but I love the look of the typical surface that is left from whittling without any sanding done at the end.

    Have you got any ideas how I can make those concave parts look better without sanding? I hope you understand what my problem is, it is hard to describe with words. Feel free to ask any additional questions and I will try to clarify what I meant, but I'm sure you experienced it as well.
