My website: woodspirit.net/ Link to tools I use: woodspirit.net/products-i-use/ I carved this fish (Steelhead) out of a piece of basswood using knives and gouges after initially cutting out the excess with a band saw.
Pretty sure I would have snapped off all the fins.... Did you draw a lot as a kid, or do well in art class? Your ability to "see" the final form always amazes me.
Very nicely done! Having just finished my first fish - Rainbow Trout, wish I’d seen this first! I’m also including an Osprey in my final presentation. Very challenging project for me! How is the rest of your project coming along?
Can you do this using one knife? All the woodworking people say "oh, you only need one knife" but all the goldfish tutorials I've seen have used MULTIPLE TOOLS
