Power Carving - Texturing Stipple and Sand

carvingonwood.com/stipple-and-... Using a combination of methods to create unique textures is one of the funnest and most unique ways to create stand out textures for your power carving project.
One such combination that can be used with many different base textures is to sand the base texture which alters the look and feel of the finished texture.
If you have multiple elements that are very similar in nature, but at different focal points or angles combining sanding of one texture will allow you to create multiple unique, but very similar textures, to help you differentiate each element of the carving.
Give this method a try, and see what interesting and unique textures you can come up with.
Check out the many different uses for this type of texture creation method here: carvingonwood.com/stipple-and-...

Hey Tim, great job! Looks beautifull. What kind of power too do you use to make these kind of textures?

[@steveneugene339]

Awesome , thank you .

[@Toophless1]

This is great information. I just started making my own custom pistol grips and have wondered how I can do stipple on a wood grip. You have opened up my eyes...thanks!

Maybe a stupid question, but why not use some of the sanding bits on your rotary tool? (Using it very carefully of course)

[@incanada83]

Miranda Bakker, maybe because it's an old video? :-)

[@The_Real_Mier]

@@incanada83 It might be an old video, it’s new to me: the Magic of KZbin…. ;)) Still don’t see why he chooses to sand it by hand. Only possible that I can think of right now, is that using the rotary tool to sand could be ‘too aggressive’, but even then it’s a matter of being careful and using the right grit (at least 180-200) It might seem like too much of a tiny issue to be thinking about, but I have pretty severe osteoarthritis in my hands, so I absolutely prefer to use my Dremel over sanding by hand. However: I don’t want to ruin my project of course, so if there’s a reason for sanding by hand, it would be nice to know so.
