This time I explain how to carve two types of twisted plums.

The two chisels used are a sharp chisel and a shallow round chisel.

Preparation

Using carbon paper, copy the Nejiume onto a postcard-sized wooden board. The sketch can be downloaded from here (PDF of Nejiume) , so please use it.

How to carve Nejiume 1

In the image below, use the sharp chisel to make progressively deeper cuts in the green line in the direction of the arrow. Carve a curved surface with the shallow round chisel so that it intersects with the cut you made, so that the orange part is deeper than the darker part.

The cross section look like this:

Carve the yellow line in the image below into a V-shape at the desired angle using the sharp sword.

How to carve Nejiume 2

Make a cut in the circular green line in the center of the image below, and round off the blue line so that it intersects with the cut.

Carve the yellow line in the image below into a V-shape at the desired angle using the sharp chisel (same as Neji-Ume 1).

The green line in the figure below cuts gradually deeper in the direction of the arrow.

Carve the orange part in the image below into a plate shape so that the darker part is deeper (leave the pink part and make it deeper in the center).

In the yellow line part of the image below, if the cut line you made earlier has disappeared, redraw it with a pen.

In the image below, use the sharp chisel to make progressively deeper cuts in the green line in the direction of the arrow. Carve a curved surface with the shallow shallow chisel so that it intersects with the cut you made, so that the orange part is deeper than the darker part. (Same as Nejime 1).

Carve the yellow line in the image below in a V-shape at the angle of your choice using the sharp chisel.
