The devil is in the details



To emphasize the curved tip toe foot and define its shape within the block of wood that is the foot part, I am going to add shaping and relief cuts. I need a detail to blend the legs coming down and transition into the foot so I cut a rounded step into the side of the foot. This curved groove is a risky slice at this point, I'll carefully use a router template to add my detail before I sand and fare it in. The fade down on the side lets me add a curve of the toe.
