COMPLETING 2D PARTS
Progression continues, 2D portion is now completed. I tried to do it in 1 block. This way it is easier to have the same style in the carvings. To give a bigger volume to the 2D parts, many were cut in a thicker plank than require (especially the flowers) in a way, trying to make it look bit more 3D than it is really.
Some parts were directly made from the plans, other were made according the place on the exact place where i twill be install on the model. This way the parts fits before to be carved.
Remaining sculptures are 3D noted in red on the original drawings. On the first picture.
On the second picture, 4 pictures regrouped to give an idea of the progression of the construction; which is similar in many ways to a house : framing, walls, moldings and decoration on the other pics.
The third pic is to show how to work standing having every thing at the good height.

Hi Chris, I do not think skill is involve, cherry, fruit tree is involve and also the scale. Another reason I tried the cherry version is that I found expensive the price of exotic woods in the previous build, especially ebony.
Except for the top, the rest is now complete.

Hi Druxey, you are so right about preconception. I also saw it in an article about exacto versus chirurgical blade #11. To my great surprise exacto blades seems more popular than #11 blade. But I guess that this misconception will change when they will try #11 after few days.
To come back to cherry which is easily available for me. I do not use holly as you simply because it is not available in Quebec, but I bought some planks many years ago.
I will show other cherry sculptures, but before I will pass by Paris to show you some dolphins. To be able to begin the dolphins (photo 1), some additionnal drawings are required. The first reference I found is (photo 2) This picture could be coming from Paris but I do not know. I prefer another one : Fontana del tritone 1642 (photo 3) by one of the best sculptor; Gian Lorenzo Bernini. In the same order Antonio Canova did Cupid and Psyche (photo 4). For those wondering if cherry can take details, I did in 1999 a copy of this work (photo 5). To finalize the drawings, I did combine a picture of another french for the body and the face of Bernini dolphins (photo 6). Finally, to have an idea why there are so much ornementation in this period, look a table from the Baroque period (photo 7).

Thank you very much Bill.
When I began that build, I decided to use 100% cherry wood for many reasons. One of these to show that decent results can be achieve for the body and for the sculptures too. To always buy exotic wood can be pretty much expensive. More differents colors can be use, but in this build, which is the first time I try to use only 1 kind of wood. In Canada and the US, it is easy to get cherry wood. Also among the local woods this is probably the more stable wood we have.
Here are some results for the dolphins. Eyes are glued. Scales are still to be done.
2 sides are correctly shape and the union of the 2 sides is done with a curve.
This is an interesting work requiring concentration, where you need to take your time to enjoy the work. To facilitate the work you must work within the capacity of the tool and do not try to overuse it. I like to finish the parts with diamond bits, it works slowly but it is easier to control what you want to achieve.
