2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1push stroke Explanation: Push stroke http://tinyurl.com/yjjh8kg The only thing I could find online with 'führender Schnitt' is the title of a chapter of a book on wood carving. I wish I knew what that chapter is about. At first I thought it was a controlled cut but that term is used to describe cuts made toward the carver but that wouldn't be a good way to ground out the background. I now think 'führend' is the opposite of pulling the tool towards you. The term 'guided cut' is used in whittling with a knife. Flacheisen – flat chisel, firmer chisel, carver's chisel Grounding out the background. Cuts made to remove waste from the background. slicing cut: the gouge is given a sideways movement as it is pushed forwards. Always push the tool forwards to cut; never simply lever. http://chrispye-woodcarving.com/writing/w_gloss.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-11-01 16:37:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ground out the background cleanly with a 3/16" carver's chisel using push strokes. |
