Here's 90 percent of one leg. This took probably 100 hours. I still need to lightly etch the back sides, fill in the grooves from the roughing out (I roughed out with a band saw and intended to rough out more finely with a spoke shave, but never did, so the groves remained), finish smoothing out tool marks, and finally gild with 24 karat gold.
As always, click for larger images!
Tools used: V tool, four gouges of various sizes, angled flat blade, Dremel polishing wheels.
(I swear the leg looks better in person... these pics aren't great!)
