My first sculpture

Following in the steps of my dad

When I was home over summer I borrowed my dad's old wooden mallet and chisel and carved a figure out of (a very hard) wood. 

Challenge

I spent most of summer two week break chiseling away at this block of wood. I eventually managed to get the breasts to line up perfectly with the grain of the wood. I then made a cast of the sculpture and made a plaster copy.

The making of.
