This class is shallow to medium relief or chip carving. Beginners with some knowledge of carving to advanced are welcome. The wood type blanks are made from basswood, butternut, eastern red cedar, cherry, black walnut and tulip poplar. Occasionally other varieties are red oak, white oak, hickory and maple. Blanks are sanded smooth and ready to carve. Students have a choice of flowers, humming bird and vine or butterfly and flower patterns to trace onto their choice of mirror blank. If students would prefer to use their own design on the mirror it would need to fit within an area 4 ½” to 4 ¾” in diameter.
