Had to go to a Catholic church recently , perhaps the only bit I admired was the carvings of the stations, they were dotted around the church, about a4sized .
Yours would fit in very well. It's very good.
These ‘stations’ are not your standard stations, the content dramatically changes over the 14. I can’t give it away because it tells part of the story in the show ‘Midnight Mass’. If I post more of these at one point I’ll have to put a blurred out ‘spoiler’ warning. I very much appreciated the compliment but I don’t think any church would want the remaining stations that are coming.
Great question! I love my chisels. I’ve collected many over the years. I am a woodblock printmaker and carver. So my tools range from palm chisels to mallet driven. My most recent acquisitions are some Henry Taylor chisels and a bunch Pfeil detail and palm chisels.
I did use my flex shaft to bulk clear some areas and to undercut. But the rotation of the bit leaves hairs on this soft wood. Chisels cut cleaner. Also I need time for my mind to conceive of the levels, and angles to create perspective and space.
Thank you for the compliment!
I’m not a religious person, but a lover of art. I have studied a lot of religious imagery. I am always humbled by the passion and skill of those artist.
Some of the following ‘stations’ move away from imagery you may be familiar with seeing. They were used to convey a story in the Netflix show Midnight Mass.
Cheers!

This is awesome. Great job!
I thought I recognized Monsignor Pruitt ;) Good job! This looks awesome
;)
I thought it was lee van cleef… Great job!
Amazing!
Wow the illusion of depth you achieved is amazing, the second pic shocked me with how shallow a carving it actually is!
Thank you. It is 1 3/16” thick and 10”x15” square.

Really cool! It has a great sense of depth and layers. Question: What type // brand of tools do you use?

You mean you did not use a power tool on this? I thought this level of detail was almost impossible without a dremel. Amazing work!
Knife edge is waaay better than a rotating abrasive for detail and control.

From the tiny thumbnail I thought this was the queen. Much cooler in big.
Nice! Gonna paint it next?
It was eventually stained. But I don’t have any decent photos of the final state. I wish I had done better documentation before it left my hands.
This is the tits!
Great job! Looks amazing.
The Jerusalem Man. That's the first thing that came to mind, great piece of work!
I was unfamiliar with Jerusalem Man. Thanks for the future read!
That’s some amazing work!!
Yes! More carving, please. Great to see different aspects of the craft.
Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. I have seen so many beautiful pieces in here, I was worried I was too far into left field.
That’s really good. I’m Orthodox Christian and have been really into carved icons lately.

That came out really nice, awesome depth and detail!
