First Practice Board

[Dave Diorio]

After a few months of pouring over Nathan's lessons, I finally had the chance to try a practice board.

The board is 3ft. x 4ft., lathed and scratch coated. The carving mix is Tru-Pac from walt tools (Thanks Don). I carved on a very hot day with only alittle bit of surface cracking when trying to texture. Paint was just inexpensive acrylic from a craft store.

I noticed after it hardened I had 2 four-ways on the left side as well as a continuous line.

Any helpful comments from the Pro's out there would be welcome.

Thanks.

-Dave

LOL You will always "see" things after your work is complete...that is part of the learning process.
