Another oldie popped up. What a beautiful box. See ya soon Brother!☕️

As a fellow woodcarver, I also enjoy re-purposing found wooden boxes, and carving or wood-burning fancy designs into them. One of my favorites is taking Sache Torte or Imperial Torte boxes from Vienna-Austria (where I live), sanding off their logos, and carving designs - mostly chip carving as you have done here. It makes a wonderful heirloom box for the next generations to enjoy. Thank you very much for sharing your talent and skills with us to enjoy! :-)

the MRS here... my word me Rod... what a gorgeous piece of art!!!! pure joy to watch...

I'm not loyal to the company, but flexcut makes some nice carving knives, and I like Phiel makes great chisels and gouges for carving. Basswood is my favorite. Thank you!

What type of carving knives are you using? especially the blade that you use to outline your work? Thank you. Great work BTW!

@RHumphrey

7 жыл бұрын

Thanks very much! The knife used for the outlining is the Pfeil #2 Chip Carving Knife. The others are various Flex Cut carving chisels.

Where do you your images you trace on the wood?

Love the cigar boxes. Do you sell them and where?

ficou incrível 😍

if i wanted to teach myself to whittle, which seems like a small less messy job, is ther a knife or chisel or wood type i should try?

I can't really name a brand in particular, but I've found that a shorter fixed blade is easier to control that a longer blade or a folding blade.

Thank you! If you have a cigar store nearby, they often sell the empty boxes for cheap, or even give them away sometimes.

Why would one do this? These boxed are not made to be humidors so storing cigars in them for a longer period of time would be a waste. What is the purpose of this box after the ingraving?

@RHumphrey

It turns a plain old cigar box (which is made of nice wood) into a treasure chest, or keepsake box, or even a jewelry box of sorts...or whatever one wants really. Re-purposing that which is usually discarded. Thanks very much for watching!

How would I commission you to do some work for me?
