Architectural details

[Mark Yundt]

This house is being renovated but being where it is the local historical society got involved . They wanted to preserve the architectural details. 3 of the headers over the windows were rotted along with one of the drops as well as a corbel panel.
So I made patterns from the existing headers . I used one of the remaining corbels and the photo of the neighboring house to build the panel.
Everything is built up from 4/4 stock. Pine was used ( not my choice) as this is what was originally used.
It was a fun and simple project as the carving was fast simple and loose.

Really nice work. Must have taken some good imagination to do this. Well done indeed!

[Mark Yundt]

Thank you Al. But truthfully most of the details were spelled out nicely for me to simply copy. Naturally I have many photos of various details as well as making patterns from the existing headers. Placing a paper over a section then rubbing a pencil over it gave me enough references to clean it up into a good pattern.

Very clean carving even if loose and fast. I dare say it's cleaner carving than the original.
Thanks for sharing!

[Mark Yundt]

Thanks Jim.
i toyed with the idea of mixing it up a bit more so mine didn't look so new and out of place. But I get so used to carving relatively cleanly . I'm sure I could have even gone so far as creating the aging and wear but with their schedule of having it sold and the owner moving in in a week and a half gave me no time . Just git'er done!
