Don't think your work is completed after buying a new home. The real work starts when it comes to beautifying your house. Some people may be fond of using interiors inside their house, while others prefer using their handmade crafts. Designated wood adds extra magnificence to the living room. What I would do to beautify my house is to carve wood and use the same. While some people do it for zeal, others keep this as a hobby. You don't have to be a great artist to be able to shape the wood. With the necessary information in hand, you can start carving your own masterpiece.
Things Required:
? Wooden Piece
? Your favorite design
? Tool set, including carving knife, chisel, groove, a V-tool and other sharpening tools
? Coloring
? A sand paper and
? Smoothening tools
So now that we are ready with the materials required, let's begin the work. If you are a newbie to doing this, I would suggest you use soft woods. It serves as a great beginning for the novice. If your design is bigger, then choose a wooden piece larger than that. Begin drawing your design of choice over the wood. Using pencils or markers to create the outline for your deign will be a better option. Now, begin carving the outline using a sharp knife. Basic knife is just enough to carve softwood.
Make it a point not to apply too much pressure while carving the outline; else, you may spoil the entire aesthetic of the design. You can now start marking finer details with the appropriate carving tools. You should be aware of the types carving tools available. Start smoothing the wooden piece to make the design more visible. With the help of sand paper, you can smooth the rough edges of the design so it looks even better. The final step includes coloring the design with natural stains to add the final touch to the work piece.
