we began this art piece, named Ukraine!
Measuring 64 x 36 and nearly 3" thick, we used as much of the piece of cedar as we could.
We cut lines across the 'flag' and will lower the 'background'.
First we break out chunks. Then smooth the background/flag.
We sand to remove the lines at the bottom of the cut.
Carving. Burning. Wire brushing.
We used these bent knives and a couple chisels to clean between the petal tips.
The paint job begins.
