Light & Shadow

As a photographer/wood carver I'm always fascinated with facets and bevels. It's a delicate dance between light and shadow, and this dance best shows up painted on the facets. I touched on this subject during one of my courses at Spoonfest this past summer. We had a long discussion on how important these features are when we carve. They also feel good in the hand if done right.
