Trace the outline of the pattern onto the blank, cut off the excess, and round the corners to make the tree shape. If you start with a Santa egg, carve off the ring that&#8217;s intended for the hat trim to create a soft cone-shaped blank. Then, draw the branches, make stop cuts along the branches, and carve up to the stop cuts to separate the boughs of the branches. Go back and add some individual branch texture with a micro V-tool. Use a woodburner with a writing tip to remove any fuzzies from under the boughs of branches.<\/p>\n<h4>Painting the Tree<\/h4>\n<p>Paint the entire tree with Delta Ceramcoat hunter green acrylic paint. When the paint is dry, dry-brush a few accents onto the edges of the boughs and the top of the tree with Americana white acrylic paint. After the paint is dry, seal the carving with matte varnish.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Materials:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Basswood turned Santa: small #2 size (1-3\/4&#8243; x 3-5\/8&#8243;, or 4.4cm x 9.2cm)<br \/>\n\u2022 Graphite paper<br \/>\n\u2022 Acrylic paint, such as Delta Ceramcoat: hunter green; such as Americana: white<br \/>\n\u2022 Varnish: matte<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tools:\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Carving knife<br \/>\n\u2022 Woodburner with writing tip<br \/>\n\u2022 Micro (2mm) V-tool<br \/>\n\u2022 Pencil<br \/>\n\u2022 Paintbrush<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/woodcarving.zeeframes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Simple_Tree_Pattern_WEB_754089508.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE to download the Simple Tree Pattern.<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-16628\" src=\"https:\/\/woodcarving.zeeframes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Lori-Bio-Picture-150x166.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Lori-Bio-Picture-150x166.jpg 150w, https:\/\/woodcarvingillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Lori-Bio-Picture-51x55.jpg 51w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><br \/>\nLori Dickie lives in Michigan with her husband, Steve, three Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and 80 chickens.
