Finally, only one last branch remains. That last branch plays an important role as it leads the other branches, which seem to flow in the wind to the far right.ついに最後の1本の枝を残すのみとなりま...

I have not yet arranged the individual branches, but at long last I can feel their undulating movement. The right side is very close to the core, so it's especially hard. I can only carve it little...

Will I be able to lead it safely to the shape I have in mind?I will believe in myself and move forward. The kanji (桜) for 'cherry blossom' disappears little by little with each carving.思い描...

I carved out most of the four radiating branches in the foreground, and as I started to work on the center, I noticed that it was starting to take on an interesting shape. Dark wood is beautiful in...

I feel that wild cherry and zelkova wood are very similar. It is hard to imagine that the trees I encounter in the forest have such colors. Both are deep, dark colors and tough. They are both very ...

Because it is a very hard wood, I wondered if I had chosen a piece of wood that was too large for my first project using wild cherry wood. With each carving, the callus on my palm gets bigger. But ...

The first time it was chiselled, its cutting edge was promptly severely chipped. Wild cherry is as hard as Zelkova, and not only does it have a dark color, but the wood quality seems similar. It is...

As I carefully carve, the grain of the wood becomes darker and clearer. It is very pleasant to finish the large carved area. I have recently been trying with other wood species besides hinoki and h...

At last the full picture of the large undulation became apparent. I reached a stage where I was enjoying more and more not only the sculpting but also taking photos while sculpting. I will do my be...

The intensity of the wood grain became more pronounced. The area is dark, including the color between the grains. There is also a part where only the grain is darker and thicker, and I am really lo...

I have carefully considered a design that you can enjoy in about three different ways. If all goes well, you will enjoy the bold undulations and different grain patterns that appear depending on ho...

I carved about halfway through the large undulation that surrounds the central space. The more I carve, the more the undulating grain of the wood dances with the undulating shapes I carved. The dee...

When the central space is opened up to the bottom, a three-dimensional effect is being created. This hinoki (Japanese cypress) is particularly beautiful with its rich color. I am already dancing my...
