Slide of the Month: African Mali Mask


  October 2024

  Time to make: 2 hours

  Finishing: 1 hour
 
  Original design:  Whittlin Jim









So I was doing some record keeping of the slides I've made verses what I have published and I discovered 2 slides I made years ago from Whittlin Jim. I guess after 500 slides, I was bound to miss a couple.

Carved from maple this looks a lot simpler than it really was. Odd angles carve and cutting in recessed areas made me sharpen my knife over frequently. Sanded and stained with walnut stain to give the slide a dark foreboding look. I finished the slide off with a couple of coats of poly.
