I started this after after looking for our thread that we had for our general carving talk. I guess it never followed us here. I am working on a gun stock that I plan to try some basket weave carving instead of checkering, and I want to add some additional carving. I haven't carved in a while so I started with some practice pieces. This is the latest practice. Most of it was power carved. I'm not calling it complete yet. I will let it dry, (BLO and tinting with oil paint) and see. Give me any suggestion for improvement for this one or the next one!
I also did a practice basket weave. It definitely needs some additional practice.
