Wood carving — Carving a mascaron in wood

е:

Wood carving project in Lime wood. The carving of our company Logo…a mascaron. The design is my own but it has been influenced from the classical italian renaissance mascaron. Originally its function was to frighten evil spirits away so that they would not enter the building on wich it was attached to. As time went it was subsequently adapted in to become «mearly» a decorative element. This piece will eventually be gilded entirely in gold, watergilding and be placed over the company door — Also viev the second part when my colleague Lotta continues the work, Water gilding of a wooden mascaron.
