Stages of Completion of an Early 1900s

C.W. Parker Carousel Rounding Board


I started this project on April 3, 2006 using the photograph below for reference:

The photo above shows the stack of carousel parts numbered for auction. This photo was used by my son Troy Lawrence to produce outline drawings.


 

The photo above shows the outline drawing of the center panel that was produced by Troy.


 

The photo above shows the first pattern I used to start laying out the corner acanthus carvings.



In this photo I am holding the first carving I completed. Fourty nine to go!



In this carving I am holding several of the corner carvings that had been completed up to this time. I would need to carve a total of twelve of these.


 

The photo above shows a note I made on the date I carved the last of the twelve acanthus carvings. The date was September 18, 2006. One year later I would complete the entire project.


This is a photo of the two large acanthus carvings that will be located on each side of the large shell carvings at the very top of the rounding boards. I will need to carve six of these.
