Hottest day so far since I started this! Day 7 and still the ideas are flowing.
I decided to try something a little different today, rather than take away the outside of the line to cut down inside the line instead. Meet Doug, he is 16cm long, made from Jelutong and just over 1cm thick. Thing is I think that it only works when standing on edge as the shadows are needed to help define the shape, this is a good case for some sort of colouring either on the flat or within the depression, a thought for future days. Or maybe a deeper piece of wood so that the carving is deeper which might help with the shadow casting. Revolving the piece round its four edges changes the design completely – something else to consider.
