A week of 11.26-11.30

+
Flush rails and legs and clean knee and leg lines.


++
I realized that a knee bracket was not glued properly. Since it was glued with yellow glue yesterday, there was little hope of taking it apart by a heat lamp. However I decided to give it a try anyway, and managed to do it with patience and prying. Lance gave me a hand and I really appreciate his kind help. Since a chunk of sliver was missing at the edge because of the prying, I had to add a flesh with a carving gouge. The added wood did not quite match in color. However the knee bracket was successfully restored. ;-)


+++
My first attempt of shell carving.
