Woodcarving Stop motion

This is only the first Stopmotion woodworking project that we will do. Write into the comments any ideas or suggestions for upcoming projects.

The project seen is called "Grapes and Leaves" and is a Berkeley Woodcarving instructor’s beginning project for new students. This is a beginning project because it uses most of the tools you will need in more advanced carving (V tool, U tool, stop cuts, .etc).

To Make this particular Grapes and leaves appear to be carving by its self we took exactly 3233 pictures. Sheri (the woodcarver) would break up a cut which would normally be one movement into (depending on the length) 3-5 small ones. After each small cut she would have to remove her hands from the frame and I would make sure no stray dust was in the shot. One can imagine what 3233 of those must have been like.
