Video: How to Work the Edges of a Wood Sculpture
Video Transcript
Edges, edges all around here. This piece is done except for the edges. So that's where the rasps are important. I begin to get into those areas that really need attention all up underneat the eyes, here. All my edges. Particularly on the outside. Rounding off all my edges. I was reminded of what I needed to do. Brother who was learning from the same mentor that I had learned from came by and was at a show I was at and I was showing off my pieces and I asked him what did he think. Course I was just thinking about my creativity. But he was looking at my workmanship. And that was his critique. All my edges weren't as smooth as they should be. Like I am right now rounding off my edges. Rounding off all my edges, finishing it off. Well that was what his critique was and it makes for a better piece. I'm an Aries and I have a problem finishing so I have to really pay attention to my endings. And so it makes me a better artist to finish off my edges and improve the quality of my work.
