Lynn,

I've watched as you've commented about starting various carvings or posted progress pictures and it seems that you are able to complete a high quality, very detailed carving like this quickly.

Am I not judging time correctly?

I'd be curious how long this took and if you have any suggestions for "quickening the pace" of carving so to speak.

Not that I mind poking along as I do, but I go through stages of a carving that seems to take me forever.

This is a very nice carving by the way!!

That is an absolutely amazing carving. I do have a question....not about this one, but several other of your carvings have kerosene lanterns. How do you do those? I'd like to try something like that.

That is an amaizing carving, so much detail! Great job Lynn.

Al...I turn the top and bottom of the lantern on my lathe using a hardwood like walnut or maple. The globe is made from plex rod which is also turned. The outer arms are made from metal as are the other attachments. By drilling a small hole in the bottom of the globe, you can put in a drop of paint to make it look like a flame. Time consuming but not too difficult if you have the tools. Thanks for the interest.
