A Rose Without A Thorn

Presenting! A Rose that i carved out of pine wood. Wanted it to look just like the real one. Its my first ever masterpiece in woodcarving alright, and Im proud of it, hee. So this is what I did. First, I find a picture of a rose, then mark-out the petals with a pencil, and carved each petals individually before gluing them together. All I used, was a set of carving tools, a penknife (4 blades broken in the process), super glue, fine grade sandpaper, and some handyplasts. LOL!

Next, the 'Tulip'. Hmmm.. maybe I'll use pine wood again. Its dense, yet soft and manageable to carve. Good for amateurs like me. Any suggestions Nura? -By Rizal
