And here, starting to round out the dragonfly parts, just rough carved so far with carbide burrs.
OK, above is the dragonfly body carved. Now to work on the wings – I have to decide how to make the wings look right.
Above is a test I did in copper – the wing on the lower left is one method, and the others are different. I mulled it over while vegetating in front of the TV last night. I think I’ve decided on a hybrid between the two.
