Álex,
I have just had the Hashemi Flowers pattern enlarged to the correct size. However looking at the next stage I am at a bit of a loss at exactly which shapes need to be laminated to double or triple thicknesses. I can’t see which sections to lift the pattern off to create the new bits.
Thanks
Eric

Eric, Thank You. Here is a picture (map)

What size is the brass mallet you use? What size do you recommend in ounces or grams? I am looking at a 13 ounce brass mallet on line. It’s hard to know when you can’t hold it or try it. I have wooden mallets I turned on the my lath. But would like to get a brass mallet to hold in my hand for more control. I have had a spinal injury and have difficulty standing for extended time and would hope that a brass mallet would allow me to carve while seated? Do you always carve while standing? And do think you could carve while seated?

Thank you,

I use couple – one is pfeil Brass 450g (1 lb.) and 700g (1.54 pounds)— 90 percent of a time I use the smaller one.

Absolutely

Indeed, this is a beautiful project. What does the word “Hashemi” mean? Or… why did you chose that name for this project? — Thanks!

Great question.
Hashemi is the client’s last name. It is a royal and very ancient name from Asia and I decided to use it.

Ahhhhh, makes very good sense. Thanks!
…and I’m sure Mr. or Mrs. Hashemi is very pleased with the beautiful carving.

Yes. They are very happy.

Good Afternoon Master
Could you suggest a supplier for basswood large enough for this project. Or, if another student knows anywhere. I can only find small pieces.
Thanks

Hi Roy, I buy basswood from Heineckewood.com in Wisconsin. They are privately owned and wonderful to deal with. They sell pre-cut pieces and pieces custom cut.
Good luck. Would love to hear how you made out.
Happy carving and happy new year!
Beth
