Carving and CNC
We have two lots of carving going on at the moment.
On the design and make side Tom has 12 leg capitals to carve for a pair of Hall Tables. They are in Lime and will be water gilded.

Each block has 4 sides with 10 reeds on each side so there are a lot of reeds to carve. We have drawn them out and had them CNC’ed but in this case we are doing final carving and detail by hand.
On the restoration side Alan is carving mouldings for a range of bookcases from The Chatsworth Sale.
We are using douglas fir as the best match to the original timber and it is quite awkward to carve but should get easier as Alan builds up a rhythm.
