| Joe Kunnuk’s carving class is really fun, because you could carve nice things like mastodons and sloths. First you need to find a perfect piece of wood. It needs to be thick and long. There is driftwood and that’s the kind of wood we start out on. When we find a good piece of wood, we draw an animal on the wood. Then we take a little tiny saw about 6 inches long and we cut around the animal. Then you smooth out the edges of the animal with a file. Then you make a face by taking a real dull knife and cut the neck. Cut the tip of the head to make the ears and face. And then you take a pen and make the eyes, mouth, and ears by tracing around them. Then you get wood oil (it makes the whole thing look better and keeps you from getting splinters.) Get a rag, dip it in the oil, and rub it all over the animal. Then place the animal on a table to let the oil dry. You could start out with a ugly piece of wood and come out with a great animal, even if you never carved before! | |
