Behind the scenes: A portrait in progress

See how Bill Munn's portrait, "King," goes from rough hunk of wood to finished piece.



Rough sketch on white cedar, 12" x 22" x 4" thick


First roughing out. Only the tip of the nose remains at the original surface level.

King's face is beginning to take shape. There's also a curve now for his Queen to nestle into.

    Great idea, to show your artistry in progress! I hope for a continuation, to see how King's face materializes out of dead wood!

      Hey Henry, thanks! We're posting regular progress updates on lots of pieces so people can watch how they come together from raw hunk of wood to finished product. Thanks for the support!
