1/2 My first figure carving project happened by accident. A coworker knew that I'm into #woodworking and asked if I could carve a toy for their little boy. I've only ever done #lettercarving but I figured, what the heck, I'll give it a go. #figurecarving is so very much different than letter carving that it's a wonder that I even finished, but I eventually did and I'm currently painting it.
@ronnietucker now that I'm finished with this one, I'm ready to take on something more manageable.

One of the most enjoyable #traditionalcrafts projects that I've done so far has been a #missionstyle mirror that I made while in class at the Chippendale International School of Furniture. https://chippendaleschool.com/
This project incorporated verre eglomise, #gilding, and letter #carving and pushed me further than any other project has so far.

Interests: ancient and modern hand carved lettering mainly; church interiors; wildlife photography. I'll also post occasional pics from my past work as a silversmith.

Link from there to more of my thoughts on carved lettering. And why the hell am I called Poor Frank Raw?

New letter carving work
I wanted to design a chunky typographic piece that played with negative space. Also the idea of the letters flicking in and out of existence.
Done especially for the upcoming fair Selected Space in Sheffield and will be for sale!
First time I've used liquid gold leaf by Goldfarben very impressed with the results!
Hand carved cross on black Welsh slate and on Hopton Wood limestone.
See. It isn't all cursing.

I warned you.
My mother would be horrified.
However, sometimes a bit of hand carved profanity is the right thing to do. Sorry mum.
