sergio Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hi all, i hope you has good holidays. I try to carve a dead leaf of chesnut tree, this is the result. I used pear tree to do it and linseed oil and wax for the colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kelso Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Very nice Sergio! You know I have a weakness for this sort of decadent thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hako Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hallo Sergio, yesterday I wanted to take a leaf home to do a carving, but I didn´t stop my walk. Really funny, today I see your fantastic leaf here, and I must say , it´s a dead leaf, but full of LIVE. It´s a perfect piece of ART somewhat in the style of the SO SCHOOL . Thanks,Harald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornel Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Great work Sergio, Congratulation ! This is a fantastic copy in wood, I very like this style ! I can imagine, that it was a bonebreaker with all the inside work. I am wondering how many hours You were working on this exciting piece.....

sergio Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hi all, thanks for your compliments. I think i worked about 12 hours, but i'm not sure. Since i saw the work of Jim and his leaves, i want to carve a leaf. After, i saw the work of Cornel, Janel and others carvers, i must carve a leaf. It's an intrusting work, a good school of observation, i like this kind of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
