As always Patrick's work is of museum quality... I would like to see more real-time videos of the carvings; most specifically, the motions while modelling each piece.

very impressive and it's done in oak. Not the easiest wood to carve in such detail.

[@DownhillAllTheWay]

It's beautiful. Could I ask - how many hours did you put into this piece?

Bel Esprit. Superbe ciselure. Une réincarnation de l'époque. Nous sommes dans le respect de la Tradition. Je crois bien que même Grinling Gibbons aurait hoché de la tête, en approbation bien sûr. Il était de la même origins que vous. Mes respects Maître.

Not sure, maybe one week

The carving is delicate and very beautiful. But if you don't mind me asking, why oak? Oak has such a rough, open grain to it that it competes with the details. Would the sculpture be plastered before it was gilded?

[@SebR-FR]

I was asking myself the same...

[@sculptureornementale9069]

Oak is a wood of this region, used in furniture, paneling, doors,... it is a more historic choice by the museum.

[@SebR-FR]

OK, that's make sense, thx :)

[@musamor75]

One of the replies is true, the historic aspect. However, what you must understand is that the oak used in woodcarving here in Europe is not as stringy as American oak - if you pardon me. It's been used for centuries, and the timber destined for carving is beautifully quarter-sawn silky oak. It cuts just beautifully, and you can get extremely fine details out of it. ALL historic monumental carving here in Europe is done using this sort of timber. The gentleman here is surely one of the best Flemish carvers ; they have a fantastic tradition. Grinling Gibbons was Flemish. Look him up, you'll be on your knees when you see what he did back in the seventeenth century.

Your question about "plastering" is a bit indelicate old chap. You must learn the vocabulary. If it's meant to be gilded, then it will be "gessoed" (gesso is white chalk and rabbit skin glue used by the gilders). If this is done (most likely NOT here) then it has to be remodelled by very skilled gilders. They reshape all the details that are covered by the thick coat of gesso. The carver knows if the piece is destined to be gilded or not. If it is, then the carving is much less detailed (veins in the foliage, eyes, hair, etc.). These are hen executed by the guilders, who then show all their taste and skill. In French it's called "Reparure".

Очень наглядно, для осуществления любой задумки подойдёт метод копирования рисунка на деревянную поверхность. Отличный способ воплощения идей.
