Here, join woodsculptor Chris Lubkemann as he continues shaping and defining the rooster ....
Steps:- Whittle the top portion of the piece down to about 1/8 of an inch thick, making sure to keep the tail piece of the branch behind the shape of the head.
- Cut the legs on the end opposite the head, whittling away from the body.
- Continue to whittle down both sides so they're equal to about 1/8 of an inch thick.
- Pretend the V of the tail piece is an access ramp on a major highway: cross over the "intersection" and that point is where you create the division between the legs.
- Cut both sides so the legs will be equal thickness.
- Remove all the bark from the branch except the "vest" on the body.
