    Default Abe Lincoln to carve

    Need help. Watch you ladies and gents come up with some fantastic patterns. Need a pattern of Abe Lincoln to insert into a plaque for an Honor Flight veteran. Generally the Lincoln part will be approximately 1" tall, but could be as large as 3", so the detail does not need to be great. The ugly part is that it needs to be a particular photo - see attachment. Any suggestions. PS. Someday, I hope to be talented enough to do these myself.

    I am completely useless at converting 2d pictures so had to try my way.

    This was my first sculpted face model and I am still not great at it. As pictured it is 1.5" by 1". There is a resemblance but not 100% accurate. Hopefully it will work but better yet hope someone can do better.

    Oscar, your a genius. Someday, I hope I am smart enough to take lessons from you. I will drop that into the graphic tomorrow and test carve. Will take picture for forum when done. Thanks. Jerry.
    PS. Someday, you will receive what you deserve for all the help you've given. I hope I am one of those that can return the favor.

    Jerry.

    Thank you for the kind words. This is my stress relief from work that entails long hours and a lot of stress so this is perfect.

    Can't wait to see the wonderful piece of art you will be making.

    Regards,
    Oscar
