I will be starting a woodcarving projct of a fireman kneeling to fight a fire.  I will first post the drawing and the roughout views.  As I continue to work on the project I will post the pictures so that you can try the project yourself!  I will eventually add some additional items to the project, perhaps a burnt house, or even a burt dad over the bar-b-que.  Who knows, lets see what develops.

Be sure to check out my website as well:  www.georgiacarver.com

Here is the drawing:



Here is the front view of the roughout:



Here is the right side view of the roughout:



Here is a couple of pictues roughing out the air tank:





Here are how you shape the feet and legs, notice how they are not strait, they angle away from thebody.  This first picture is the bottom of the carving with the back up.  The right knee (on the right) is pointing out from the body.  The left leg is fairly straight away from the body. At this point be sure to leave plenty of wood for the detail carving which will come later.



This next picture is the bottom of the feet with the front up at the top of the picture.  On the left side of the picture you can see a different view how the firemans right legg slants out just a little.  The legg on the right of the picure (the firemans left legg) slants out slightly







Next time I will post some pictures of the roughout a little closer to the shape (no longer in the square block)

See you soon!
