Athar Jaber Teaches Letter Carving | Letter Carving Masterclass

πŸ”΄ **Stone Carving**

Over the last couple of days, I have been watching a number of online videos demonstrating the art of letter cutting. I found the carving of serif letters and their end results particularly pleasing. I hope the techniques, expertise, and mastery that humans have developed over many centuries in this craft is not lost in the rush for automation.

Whilst I'm laid up with the lurgy I thought I'd put together selection of work from 2024.Losing Stanley was devasting but I know he had the best life. Making Nelson the Chameleon was great fun and being asked to carve an old friend in stone was a real privilege. Quite a bit of letter cutting this year including this house number for a front door!Two big jobs in the pipeline for 2025 & I hope to be able to mix it up with #Metalwork #StoneCarving #WoodCarving #Turning #LetterCutting & #Portraiture
I'm very glad I invested in some big #woodworking machines when I moved into my current studio, BIG tools mean I can make BIG stuff! The #oak platter is 16" in diameter and was post lettercut after turning, the composite #walnut blank is currently on the lathe - 15' long 10" dia. - finished pics will hopefully follow tomorrow eve! The Lucas acetylene #bicycle lamp is just for scale! #woodturning #lettercutting
Last week's blank canvas is this week's signpost! #Sandstone #LetterCutting #StoneCarving
Started a series of York Stone plaques today. First job after drawing the artwork is to set the depth of cut to suit the width of letter. #LetterCutting #NaturalStone

One day I'm going to remember how tricky Celtic knotwork is before I start carving it...
