Anatomy of a Carved Shell
See various period examples and view each stage of the carving process in this excerpt from the DVD 'Carving Techniques and Projects'
18th Century furniture often borrowed from nature, hence the predominance of the carved scallop shell on period chairs and chests of drawers. In this excerpt from the DVD “Carving Techniques and Projects,” Mack Headley, Jr. discusses the basic steps in carving a scallop shell on furniture. Headley, who now runs the historic cabinetmakers shop at Colonial Williamsburg, shows several period examples of carved shells, and summarizes each step of the carving process with partially-carved examples.
