For grins, as I’m working on a small batch store update. I thought I would share a bit of the process of something I’m currently making, a serving tray for crackers (or olives, or cheese squares, etc. etc.). :)

The overall carving design I planned for the tray is 9.5” L x 2” W. I wanted to create a vine similar to one of the rings in my new line of hand carved bowl and serving ware designs (shown at the start of the video). My process for spacing and alignment for the design is demonstrated along with how the sketch is drawn and marked on the tray, and the completed carving.

Video does not have sound, but I hope the steps can be followed easily should anyone like to do so. I’ll be glad to answer questions about the process if you’d like to comment or send me a message. I’ll graduate to sound and verbal input soon… once I get used to the sound of my voice.

Ya’ll stay safe out there!
