Project-Woodburning a Ram

Rollie was generous enough to submit an excellent tutorial on the Ram he woodburned. He took a picture at a local zoo and that was the basis of the pattern he used. The photograph can be used by anyone who would also like to do the burn.
Since the Ram is mostly white it did present a challenge! First the image was traced onto the Italian Poplar. The first burn was to do the eyes. Most folks who do animal/people burns tend to do the eyes first. If the eyes can't be done correctly, then the rest of the burn will show that defect. Doing the eyes requires a lot of concentration, but when done right it is the first step in making an excellent image.

The progress shown below is the second step of the tutorial. In the first one ( click here to see it)  the concentration was on the eyes. In this second stage the effort is on starting the hair and texturing the large horn.
