Sculpting a Longhorn Steer Skull

One my son in laws is an avid Texas fan so for Christmas last year I carved him a longhorn steer skull.

Pine wood

Arbortech Plane

Gaff speedcutter

Bandsaw helps

Drill

Rasps

Sandpaper

Carving knives

Clamps

Ear protection

Eye protection

Are the main tools required

The first part of this carving were the horns. Then glued up and roughed out the skull.

Once I had the skull roughed out I began carving, using all the tools I had to make it as easy as I could.

Again using everything I could think of to continue making the shape of a skull I used. Adding details helps it to look more like a longhorn steer skull.

I wasn’t happy with the eyes of the skull so I made a move that could have ruined the entire project.

If you don’t want the nitty gritty details, this is a shortened video of the entire build. Hope you enjoyed it and thanks for voting.
