 Is this flat plain? Wanted to make my contribution to the flat plane world... I hope I achieved that goal. Sat down yesterday, did a quick sketch, off to the band saw, then to the knives. This is what I ended up with. About 3 1/2" tall, just a little hobo. Did have trouble with the face and paint, oh well..... Comments welcome and critique. Greg  |

| Re: Is this flat plain? greg, I certinly am no critic but still a nice carving, i cant stop rounding them off and outting in too much detail, ive read it is a minimalist way of carving meaning less cutting i think... follow this guy, the path to knowledge on this widens. http://www.iowaartscouncil.org/progr...y-refsal.shtml and if you can follow this page theres lots of links to other old flat plainers, tools wood and technique explanations, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Johan_Trygg i think it worked around the tourist trade but cant find the artical again,

| Re: Is this flat plain? Greg .. I wouldnt worry about it being flat plane so much .. It's a good looking carving .. That's all that matters .. and I dont know where you missed on the face either .. it looks alright to me .. Good paint job and antiqueing .. I really like the way you did the shoes .. Greg .. Flat plane is just a style of using a knife .. it doesnt guarantee the carving will be good or bad .. and this one is definately good .. Great job on the piece  Gene |

| Re: Is this flat plain? You all are really kind, thank you! Sure was fun.... I think I will try to use the same pattern for several different variations. |
