PROGRESSION ILLUSTRATING THE HAND CARVING OF A JADE TENDRIL

Drawn up

From a cored out disc to the initial grinding…. and the start of hand tooling with an electric micro-motor hand piece.

Halfway there and into hand finishing…

There is a small, suspension hole concealed under the tendril

to prevent the cord from slipping along the tapering tendril causing the piece to hang out of balance.
