Well, classes cancelled. Travel to a halt. If that’s the worst that happens, we’ll be fine here. I like being at home. I’ll get to spend more time writing and photographing blog posts I guess. I carved this yesterday, one of my North House students ordered it so he would have something to work from in his carving.
I tried some video while I was at it. Warts ‘n all; but there’s some techniques in these. It amounts to about 12 minutes of video, but is chopped up into bits:
This pattern is in the book Joiners Work https://lostartpress.com/products/joiners-work
and it was professionally shot on video with Lie-Nielsen https://www.lie-nielsen.com/nodes/4243/home-education-videos
It’s in the first one in that series, which is called “17th Century New England Carving” – that one has maybe 4 patterns, the S-scroll one has several variations on one theme, and the carved box one has some carving in it as well.
More soon. Keep safe.
Be safe, Peter, as we all experience some social distancing for a few weeks!

Hold my breath every time I see you hogging out the sunkwork towards those leaf points. Was talking with new furniture conservator at Winterthur (as of June 1) , Kathy Gillis, about New Haven chest. Winterthur is going into total lockdown as of 5:30 tonight.
