How to carve patterns part 3 ~Asanoha and Sayagata~

This time, I explain how to carve "Asanoha" and "Sayagata".

The carving is a little detailed. If you can carve the patterns 1: From the lattice to scales and 2: Raimon there will be no problem.

Preparation

Use carbon paper to trace Asanoha and Sayagata onto a postcard-sized wooden board. The sketches can be downloaded from here (PDF of Asanoha and Sayagata) , so please use them.

1. How to carve Asanoha

First, carve the lines of the Asanoha shape with a triangular chisel.

Next, carve the triangular slope with a sharp chisel or a flat chisel. The carving method is almost the same as the scale pattern explained in How to Carve a Pattern, Part 1, so I don't go into details.

Finally, re-carve the pattern with a triangular chisel to complete the piece.

2．How to carve Sayagata

Sayagata is almost the same as Raimon carving method, which has a low center, explained in How to Carve Patterns Part 2 .

First, carve the lower part with a triangular chisel.

Next, carve the slope and complete it. Since the size of the sketch is smaller than before, I think it would be better to carve the slope in a Yagen(V-shape) with a sharp chisel for a cleaner finish.
