Even a blind person can appreciate a carved Icon.

They are beautiful.
I carve in the round and have never tried relief carving of chip carving.
I imagine it is easier, except geometry on chip carving.
Many relief carvings use paint and gold leaf to make them pop into the 2nd dimension.
I am pretty good at the paint as I painted before teaching myself carving.
I still have not tried gold leaf.

I intend for this to be the subject matter of my first relief carving.
Need some time.
I will try gold leaf on it as well, before my hands get to shaky. LOL

I now the man who created that logo. Bob (or Robert) Brooks. He died some years back ... but did leave a widow, though I know not how to contact her...and my other contact to the guy, was that man’s son — who had been a good friend of mine. but the son died too.

You know where that "free trade and sailor's rights" sign is at, right?
Come to think of it, you may have posted the image before, and I mentioned it.

Well, it’s been a while.
That was a campaign slogan in the war of 1812.
I want to carve it for a cottage on the ocean in Maine, whose owner has been kind.

I have had this project in the back of my mind for years.
Not sure if we ever discussed it.
I first saw the project done by carver Rick Butz.
I am sure he copied a piece from the 1800’s

Rashid and Inessa Azbuhanov
No. Rashid is an Arabic name and is also one of the 99 names of God according to Muslims. Thus, it predates Muslim entrance into and conquest of Egypt. It is not Egyptian. It is simply Arabic. Why does a Russian - Azbuhanov is clearly Slavic and the couple is said to be RUSSIAN - have a name like Rashid? Here’s his photo: http://pageaucarvings.com/2/post/2011/10/russias-elite-icon-carvers.html
Like I said, Rashid is not your typical Christian name.
