Side B has been calling to me for a while now, so it’s time to knuckle under and get started… \u00a0This will be mostly bark with a sneaky centipede partially hidden underneath. \u00a0I vividly remember seeing one of these bad boys as a young child in Texas <\/p>\n

, when I was perhaps 5 or 6. \u00a0Black body and startlingly yellow legs, it seemed like it was a foot long and struck me as being “powerful.” \u00a0Bugs aren’t something you would normally think of as powerful. \u00a0Stingers, biters, scratchers, yes, but not as having power. \u00a0But this thing was angry, not happy being held down with a stick across its’\u00a0middle, and it\u00a0seemed to be winning the fight.<\/p>\n

\nHere, I’ve simply engraved all of my layout lines quite deeply with a Lindsay Detailing (96 degree) graver. \u00a0I’ve also reserved a space for a possible use later, and marked where two\u00a0cavities are\u00a0located on the underside. \u00a0I don’t want to carve into those.<\/p>\n

\nAbove, I’ve used two sizes of carbide burs (small and tiny) to excavate around the centipede to the desired depth. \u00a0Quite deep against the centipede’s body, tapering to almost zero depth at the lower edge of the scale.<\/p>\n

I’ve used flat gravers to begin carving the slightly rounded body where it disappears under the bark, and where the legs disappear under the body. \u00a0I’ve also used tiny flats to cut around the base of the legs and the tree surface. \u00a0Did you know that an onglette with a flat heel on the bottom makes a pretty strong, yet tiny flat graver? \u00a0Try it…<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>And, above, a more magnified view. \u00a0Lots more carving and rounding of the body and further sculpting with a punch tomorrow.<\/p>\n
