House relief & woodburned scene

[JoeVM]

This is a relief of a friend's house. It's on a 9x12 one-inch board. I woodburned it and used some light stain.

Looks like a nice peaceful place to be, very nice carving and burning!

Beautiful work, one thing I know is that people will often pay good money for the scene of their house like this.

Very nice, Joe, and fine illusion of depth.

That's a good one, Joe. I agree with Sappy's and Bill's comments.

Thanks Sappy, DiLeon, Woodburner, & Arthur, I appreciate your comments. I don't do many relief carvings, so I had to think about this one a lot. All constructive comments are welcome.

Hi Joe, this is really very beautiful. I like the 'burning' and carving. Seems to be snow on the mountains...nice place to be.

I know this thread is quite old, but do you happen to have any tips on how to transform an image into a relief carving pattern?

There is a ton of material here: Read through it for several hours and you should find what you want... https://lsirish.com/tutorials/ (scroll down a page...)

Thanks.
I actually did do some more research yesterday and found that some people use coloring magazines as patterns, which I thought was pretty cool.
