Meron Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hello overyone, This is my first post, so I'll introduce myself. I'm a woodcarver from the Netherlands. I have been carving miniatures for several years now. It once started out as "pawns with a shape", but has now evolved into a bit more than just small pawns. I use wood. Mostly boxwood, but also some walnut, ebony and other darker colored woods. Most of the miniatures are inspired by the fantasy genre. Below two pictures of my latest miniature. Boxwood with a Danish oil finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meron Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Cool, I didn't know about his work, but it looks interesting. The miniaturen is based on a drawing I stumbled upon and i found it an interesting figure to carve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 You probably know the work of Ko Baas , For fine finishing for the many mini edges of your work, google rotten stone or tripoli powder, it is used by violin makers for fine finishing , I use it dry with a brush , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
