Start close to the stop cut, take a small wedge, and then gradually work the wedge wider, rounding Ihe egg form. By working your way back gradually, you will avoid cutting into the band around the egg. Step 9.

With the No. 4-6mm gouge, make the sharp point of each dart. 11. Carve the ball and sausage design by first making stop cuts between the elements. Step 12. Use a gouge upside down to round off the edges of the ball and sausage elements. It is quickest to make all of the left cuts in one series and then switch hands to do all the right side cuts. For this series of cuts, I used a No. 7-4mm gouge. 13. With the same tool upside down, round off the tops of all elements.
