    Whale Pattern

    www.DeepwoodsVentures.com

    This Whale can be carved as a relief or in 3d. She can be


    carved at any scale you would like.

    Carve the whale so that the chin, and the two fins touch a
    table top and don’t wobble.

    Wood:
    Basswood or Tupelo is recommended for this carving, but a
    figured wood oiled to a natural finish would look great.

    Tools: Depending on the scale you choose, this whale is


    best carved with a General Carver for fast removal of wood
    and smaller knife such as a a Draper Detailer for the eyes,
    mouth and in the tail area.

    Draper Detailer - Figured


    1-5/8” Blade

    General Carver - Figured


    1-3/4” Blade

    Options:
    You may sand her smooth and paint her or leave unpainted with tool marks for a more rustic look.

    Eyes: You can carve them and paint gloss polyurethane on them or you can mix india ink with 5
    minute epoxy and drop them on a piece of waxpaper to make eyes. Make a lot of eyes so that you
    can match them for the correct size.

    A water plume made of wire glued into a hole drilled into the top could hold cards and or pictures.
    If you choose the plume, I would suggest a base to stabilize the whale.

    If you are not the wire blacksmith that I am, I am told that the plumes are available at most craft
    stores.
