This is a leopard figurine I carved form hard wood to represent
my personal object of power
I learned how to carve figurines when I was very young.
My father and Iused to carve small animals out of bars of soap.
An average I make about three figurines per year, some take
me months to finish while others may take only a few days.
It depends entirely on the motivation.
The process is fairly straight foward. First, using electric tools
I cut the wood to a manageable size. Next, I whittle the wood
away till I reach a desired shape. After that, I sand the object
and cut away sections with a very sharp thin blade knife.
I and some more , and some more, and, you get the idea.
