It was a lot harder to carve than I thought but like any new thing I went slower that I normally would since I wanted it to be acceptable.

Carving the Practice Newport Ball and Claw Foot
The Townsend Card Table is obviously a Newport piece of furniture. If I were to put a Philadelphia ball and claw foot on the table it would be out of context. So, I have to carve a Newport ball and claw which I have not done before. I obtained a plaster cast of a Goddard foot from Al Breed. He sent me one that had a broken talon, but that didn't matter. In today's video I take a crack at carving the different style. I have completed the basic shape in this video, and now will refine the shape in the next video.
