He was knighted by Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany for his accomplishments in sculpting and art work.” …. “After he departed from Germany to the U.S. through Castle Garden, N.Y. in 1884, he settled in St. Louis, Missouri…”

Greetings,

Thank You, Sergio.
Yes, I am very familiar with work of Herman Lindenberg. Those plates are famous amongst stone and wood Carvers. They represent a true historical development of Acanthus Ornament-Motif
🙂
This is fantastic: instead of starting with a carving pattern taken from another source, you are teaching the fundamentals of how to draw each leaf. No other online carving school teaches this. Such a great, empowering gift.
Thank You
I find your lessons very informative and helpful! Looking forward to the upcoming lessons!
Thanks,
Russell
Thank You! Hope You like it!
Hi Alex! Your lessons are really helpful! I’m from Brazil and Basswood is very rare here. Are you familiar with Brazilian woods suitable for carving? I have been used imbuia (Brazilian walnut), cedar (“cedro rosa”) and jack fruit wood. Any advice about dark coloured wood?
Yours sincerely,
Danilo Araújo
Thank You!
I am not familiar a lot with softer Brazilian woods. I tried to carve ipe wood and it is a very hardwood.
I am sure cedar or walnut will work just fine.
Thank you!
