INSTRUCTIONS

Step 2. Secure the carving to the bench. A good technigue for this carving is to use a furniture clamp on the base and a C clamp to secure the furniture clamp to the bench.

Step 4. Draw a center line from the front of the profile to the back of the profile. This line will help you balance the depth of the cuts on each side. Carve the back leg down to the halfway line.

Step 1. Trace the pattern onto the wood with the grain going the long way. Cut out the profile on the band saw. Saw the pattern on only the side view. The technique used in this carving is to carve into the sides to get the dimensions of the front view. Using the drill press and the l/2"-Dia. bit, remove wood between the legs and between the walking stick and the forward leg.

| Step 3. If you have a work-| bench with a wocd vise, | attach a carver's screw | into the base of the carving I and attach the Carver's | screw to a notched 2x2 | held in the vise. Laying the | carving down cn the | bench like this gives you a | good foundation for rough-| ing out with the mallet.
