easy wood projects
A fellow I met in Florida asked if I could carve a set of sea horse earrings, that he could give to his wife. Of course I said , "Ill give it a try".
Heres a tip for those who may need a photo, a pattern, of any other reference to check out before carving something. Use your computer and search for whatever object, under this title: (Object) illustration. I entered "Sea Horse Illustration". When you use the word "illustration" youll get line drawings that are easy to convert to a pattern.
These sea horse earrings are so simple and fast. I started out cutting the profile out of 1/4" thick Basswood. The actual carving was accomplished with a small burr in a rotary tool, and my pocket knife.
TIP
When its necessary to carve more than one of an item, heres a simple way to duplicate the item. Its not a rubber stamp, but dang close. Just make a smear of paint, set the blank to be duplicated in the paint, and use it like a rubber stamp.
