Just got these Basswood brackets done for a private home . A lot of wood had to come off the original blocks with them ending up at 3 ft long and 14" wide. The swags and bottom leaves were carved separate and then fitted into place. Coping the leaves was a fun time!
Using my thumb for scale you can see how carving the curl on the leaf was like carving and smoothing a spoon or ladle . Glad they're done.
