Pattern for patterndepot

[oscarl48]

With the discussion of a toy soldier I had to give it a try. I think it came out pretty good and I'll be throwing it in the depot. I still have to test carve but I don't see any issues visually. Getting better at seeing possible issues in patterns.

A new pattern I'll be test carving for the depot. A mean junk yard dog bust.

Really mean looking junk yard dog!

Norm, I am getting to a point where I can not focus so much on the technical aspect of pattern creation and start focusing on my style of art. This is an original model based on a sketch of mine. And best part it carved really well. I did have a little bit of tear out on the rings because I forgot to add a small draft since I was test carving in poplar. In a hardwood it will not be an issue. carved at .25 on normal. 6" tall. Carving is straight from the machine with no sanding.

[normrichards]

It did carve really well, and I love your artistry.

I made some patterns for a friend on here but thought with a little modification they could be good candidates for the pattern depot. I still have to test carve.

Oscar, both are great patterns. Will be nice to see them in the pattern depot.

[oscarl48]

Sharon, thank you. Finally catching up with my projects so can sit down and build patterns again.

Great work on both patterns! Looking forward to seeing them available in pattern depot!

[oscarl48]

dbemus, thank you. I'll try to carve them tomorrow and see how they look.
