Carving a Colonial Charleston Under-Mantel

This lesson teaches how to carve a decorative header (also called face or under-mantel) reproduced for an historic home in downtown Charleston, SC. Both the fluted panel lesson (1 episode) and the beaded panel lesson (2 episodes) cover a few tricks for working in poplar and tips for maintaining control of a gouge for repeated cuts. These decorative panels can be adapted for furniture as well as other architectural details.

In this highly detailed and practical lesson from a classical woodcarver, you see every step so you can develop your own carving abilities. It's one of those lessons you'll want to watch again and again.
