Woodcarving: video work with threader tools

It fascinates when silhouettes of animals or people appear on a simple piece of wood from under the hand of the master. The wood can convey whole stories of the past. Wooden sculptures show the surrounding emotions, which the author gave them. For example, look at these bears:

If you are interested in the technique of performing wooden paintings and sculptures and want your woodwork to become your hobby or even the main occupation, the video lessons for beginners will show you how to work.

How to get started with the

tree In order to get a picture on a wooden material or to cut a figure, you need to get acquainted with some of the ways of carving: through, relief, planimetric and sculptural. To see how each of these types is performed, look at how the wood carving works. Starter videos are provided below.

Beginners are best to start with a simple type of wood processing - with a flat-scale, in which the pattern is cut out on a flat surface and is at a level with the background. For this method, you will need tools such as a chisel and a knife-jamb.

Choose the material on which you will perform the work. You can use improvised materials: cutting board, furniture parts, parquet board.

It should be noted that some tree species have different properties, and it is better for a beginner to use material from eucalyptus, maple or alder. From these breeds, neat and clean crafts are produced. Juniper and linden have a softer structure: they are easier to cut out a picture, but this is undesirable for a beginner, because you can inadvertently make an extra line. Therefore, hard rocks are more suitable for training.

After selecting the workpiece, where you will work, come up with a drawing that you will perform. You can use the charts from the books on the thread or repeat the image from the video lesson. Following the instructions of the wizard, redraw the picture on the board and begin to do the work.

You can cut pictures on the tree with a drill. So you can quickly carry out grooves and small details of crafts. But first you need to practice on an unnecessary piece of wood, in order to know what depth your instrument performs. Use different nozzles on the machine, so that you get interesting touches.

When you get a clean drawing on a tree with a plano-sharp cutting, you can start other, more complex types of carving. You can try to make a pattern with relief carving, in which the pattern is above the background or on a level with it.

For work you will need chisels( semicircular, straight, hooks), knife-jamb and other threading tools. Select the picture you want to represent on the tree. Draw the picture to the workpiece where you will work. Using the master class shown in the video, you will see how to cut out 3D pictures on a plane. First you have to cut the contours of the picture, using a knife, then perform the pruning. The chisel should be kept from the side of the background, so as not to damage it.

The embossed thread can be selected with a selected background when the area surrounding the pattern is cut and processed. The edges of the image must be zaovalennye. Round them up you need more steeply to the pattern and gently to the background.

The youngest way of woodcarving is "tatyanka".She patented Sh. Sasykov at the end of the 20th century. It differs from other styles in that, when performing this technique, special sharp tools are used."Tatyanka" is less labor-intensive cutting, which takes less time than other techniques. The copies made by this style, gain more and more fans,
