On the way back, Fan Ming turned over the wood in his hand and said, "What can this do?" ”

"Be a doll. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info=Whole=Ben=Small=Say=Net=" Yaya sat on Zhang Taiping's shoulder and said.

"What a doll, be a Goku!" Fan Ming retorted.

Goku squeaked a few times when he heard it next to him.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "If you carve three or four small objects from wood, you two will each have one." ”

Yaya glanced at Fan Ming demonstratively, but Fan Ming ignored her, but thought about carving something, just said that he was carved into Wukong just to be angry, not to want a statue of Wukong in his heart.

"Can you carve a string of beads?" She saw that Cai Yazhi had been carrying a golden bead chain, which looked good, so she thought about asking Zhang Taiping to carve a string for herself.

"Yes, you want a bead chain?" Zhang Taiping asked.

"Yes."

Wukong heard that he didn't have his own share, so he pointed at himself and squeaked a few more times, jumping next to Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping couldn't help but sigh that the monkey is worthy of being the closest animal to humans, whether it is learning ability or other is very strong, living at home for so long, Wukong's current IQ is like a child, can understand simple language, can clearly express his joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

Fan Ming stretched out his finger and flicked it on Wukong's head and said, "No part of yours!" ”

Goku immediately shrugged his head and quieted down, silently following behind.

After returning home, Zhang Taiping first went in and told the old man about it.

"You said it was a golden silk nanmu?" The old man was surprised.

"Yes." Zhang Taiping nodded: "Just now, Wang Gui and I, as well as the old village chief, went over to take a look and confirmed that it was Jinsi Nanmu." As he spoke, he lowered a piece of wood in his hand.

After reading it, the old man sighed and said: "Hey, the baby has been in the present for decades and has not found it, it is true" Although the old man said this, there was no expression of regret and joy on his face, just a feeling and a sentence of emotion.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "It's not all the same, you can't see anything special about this tree from the outside, you don't know the aroma of the wood if you don't cut it, it's normal to not see it for decades, just imagine who will have nothing to do to study a dead tree when they are full." It was only in my grandfather's reminder today that I felt that it was a little extraordinary. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"It's public, I've already discussed with the old village chief, and I'm going to cut it down after a meeting tomorrow, so as not to have too many dreams at night."

After dinner, the family sat together and watched TV, Zhang Taiping took out the carving tools and began to work on the carving of this piece of golden silk nanmu.

Mu Hongyu undoubtedly knew this piece of wood, and said to Zhang Taiping with a slight surprise: "Big brother, let me see the wood in my hand." ”

Zhang Taiping handed it over, she looked at it for a while, put it under her nose and sniffed it and asked, "Is this a golden silk nanmu?" ”

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Yes, it's Golden Silk Nanmu." I went out to take a look just now, and the tree that was struck by lightning was a golden silk nanmu. ”

"So big?" Mu Hongyu was surprised, she was not as ignorant as Fan Ming, because of her family background, she had been exposed to a lot of such things since she was a child, and she knew the value of the golden silk nanmu, and she had also seen the dead tree in the village, and she could roughly estimate its value, so she was surprised.

Zhang Taiping smiled and nodded, he was in a really good mood, the money from the sale of such a big nanmu tree is a good thing whether it is left in the village to set up a factory or enterprise or distributed to everyone, and it can make earth-shaking changes in the village.

"What is Big Brother going to carve with this piece?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "Yaya asked me to carve a doll for her, Fan Ming wants a string of beads, and maybe there is some wood left, and when the time comes, let's carve something into something that can be carved." ”

Looking at Zhang Taiping's carving knives flying up and down, Mu Hongyu said, "Can the eldest brother also teach me carving?" ”

"Okay." Zhang Taiping agreed without thinking about it, the wood red fish is destined to not be able to move freely due to the leg, so it will be a lot less fun, and it is also a good thing to learn wood carving to pass the time, because once immersed in it, time will fly by.

Fan Ming turned her head to talk about sculpture in the future, so she turned her head to watch TV again. Although she envies Zhang Taiping's carving ability, but she will not learn this, mainly because carving requires patience, often where to sit is motionless for a long time, this is how she can not do.

But Cai Xiaomei and Ye Ling gathered around, sat beside Zhang Taiping, and listened to him with interest.

Zhang Taiping said: "Carving is the assembly of carving, carving and plastic, and there are many types, including wood carving, stone carving, jade carving and ivory carving. ”

"What kind of carving is the big brother best at?" Mu Hongyu asked.

"Of course, it was wood carving, when I was studying, one was because wood could be used locally without spending money to buy it, and for one reason, the knife that carved wood was the cheapest, while the other knives were a bit expensive, and the cheapest set was thousands of dollars, and even tens of thousands of dollars. It was a bit too much for the economic situation at the time, so I could only afford the cheapest wood carving knife. However, other materials can also be carved. ”

Next, Zhang Taiping gave them a general explanation of the process of wood carving: "Wood carving can be divided into seven processes: chiseling rough blanks, digging fine blanks, repairing, polishing, carving hair, coloring and varnishing, and configuring the base. ”

The rough blank is the foundation of the whole work, which summarizes all the modeling details in the conception with concise geometric shapes, and requires that there are levels, momentum, proportional coordination, stable center of gravity, and a strong sense of wholeness, and the outer and inner contours of the work are initially formed.

The basic essentials of chiseling rough billet are, from top to bottom, from front to back, from the surface to the inside, from shallow to deep. From top to bottom, it is to start from the head to the heel; From front to back, it is to chisel the front body first, and then chisel the back; From the surface to the inside, it starts from the surface of the wood and peels inward layer by layer; From shallow to deep, it is to chisel the shallow place first, and then chisel the deep place. When chiseling rough billets, it is also necessary to pay attention to leaving leeway, just like cutting clothes, to be appropriately relaxed. As the folk jargon goes: if you leave the fat to be small, you can change it to a small one, but you are worried that the spine is thin and difficult to fatten, "the inner distance should be small but not large, remember that carving is subtraction".

"The main meaning is to leave room according to the specific situation of the wood and the intention of the carving, right?" Fan Ming said sharply.

Zhang Taiping nodded appreciatively, teaching smart students is to make the teacher comfortable, as long as a little bit will do.

Digging the billet is to focus on the whole, adjust the proportions and various layouts, and then gradually implement and form the specific forms of the figures, facial features, limbs, costumes, props, etc., to leave room for repair. At this stage, the volume and lines of the work have become clearer, so it is required to have a smooth knife technique and be fully expressive. The hollowing technique in the excavation of fine billets requires a combination of longitudinal fibers to hollow out the excess parts. It is necessary to use the rib method, that is, to leave a small piece of material in the part of the work that is easy to break to make it adhere to the adjacent part, and then use the thin knife dense slice method to remove the tendon after the work is completed.

Repairing is the purpose of repairing the light by using fine carving and thin knife dense sheet method to repair the knife marks and chisel scales in the fine blank, so that the surface of the work is fine and perfect. The knife marks are required to be clear and fine, or round, or straight, and strive to express the subtleties and textures of each part.

"The front digging of the fine billet is not considered to be fine carving, this is the process of fine carving. It is also the time to embody the carving technique. Subtle art is expensive in subtlety, but also difficult in subtlety, because it is not only small, but also must reproduce the artistic charm and charm in the small. Every subtle work of art is not only successful on the basis of the actual basic skills, but at the same time, it is full of hard work and sweat. Zhang Taiping said.

"This sounds a bit like a reply." Cai Xiaomei said.

Zhang Taiping nodded yes, they are all smart people, and they can feel it without him pointing it out. said: "Art and sculpture are figured out, and to a certain extent, they are inseparable. ”

Grinding is to rub the white wood carving with woodworking sandpaper of different thicknesses according to the needs of some works. It is required to use coarse sandpaper first, followed by fine sandpaper. It is necessary to repeatedly polish the wood fiber in the direction until the knife marks disappear and the beautiful wood grain is displayed, and attention should be paid to keeping the contours of the work clear and the lines smooth.

Mu Hongyu said: "This process is like the elimination of traces in painting. ”

Zhang Taiping nodded in the affirmative, and then said: "This process has been applied in all kinds of carving. Especially in the jade carving, the hardness of jade is very high, it is difficult to carve with a knife, the so-called jade carving, in fact, through the grinding, grinding, drilling and other craft techniques to complete. ”

When carving hair and ornamentation, it is necessary to use a triangular knife to depict hair and ornamentation, which requires the knife to be refreshing, affirmative, uniform in thickness, and meticulous.

Coloring is not only to make up for the deficiencies or defects of certain materials, but also to enhance the beauty of the texture of the material and the formal beauty of the work. Therefore, the coloring of the work should be discretionary, and the beauty of the wood grain should be reflected as much as possible. The color should be deep and bright, in line with the beauty of natural wood, and at the same time, it is necessary to talk about the infinite magnification of the natural pattern carried by the wood.

The purpose of glazing is to moisturize the wood, make the work shine, and also play a role in preventing stains for long-term preservation, so it is required to penetrate evenly, bright and good.

"It's like coloring after painting, which is the key to whether or not you can take a work to the next level." Zhang Taiping said.

The configuration base is not only the support of the main body, but also an inseparable part of the carved modeling. Therefore, it is required that the shape and scale of the base should complement the content and form of the work. Curved and lively works can be set off by a simple and unpretentious base, while simple or solemn works can be carved on the base. In short, we should pay attention to the proportions and coordination between each other, pay attention to the mutual complement of the tone, and do not dominate the crowd.

Cai Xiaomei said with a smile: "This process is like framing after painting, isn't it?" ”

Zhang Taiping nodded and continued: "What I just said is all theoretical knowledge, you can remember as much as you can, and it doesn't matter if you can't remember it. ”

Mu Hongyu asked, "Is there any such thing as a school of thought in the eldest brother's skills?" ”

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "I don't know if there are other people's, my own is not a school, it is all slowly summarized from the practice of carving after learning the most basic * works." However, there is a clear classification in the knife technique. ”

"How's that division?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "Generally speaking, people who engage in wood carving, in addition to the knife holding method is basically the same, each has their own good knife skills, beginners as long as they are familiar with the two different uses of flat knives and round knives, they can quickly master the knife skills." It must be emphasized that the importance of the knife posture is not only affected by the smooth progress of the carving, but also causes safety problems. Then, in the rough stage of cutting a large number of wood, we mainly use a hammer to cooperate with the knife to work, the knife posture is in the shape of a fist, when the carving is pushed outward or dug deeply, it can be made a fist center downward shape; When the carving is pushed inward, it can be made into the fist center upward, and when the carving outline wants to cut off the wood grain silk strands, it can be made into the fist heart inward or outward, and the three methods are flexible to master. If the knife is cut too deeply, do not shake the handle to pull it out in a hurry, as this will cause the edge to crack or peel, use another tool and slightly shave the wood around the knife until it can be shaken. ”

After finishing speaking, he shook his head: "But don't let that be all for now, take a knife and carve it for a few days, and let me see how to teach you." ”

"Okay, but where can I buy this item?" Mu Hongyu said with his palms together.

"You don't need to buy it, you can use the same set of knives I used first." He later bought several different sets of knives himself, and the first one sat idle.

"Hmm." "So what kind of wood is suitable for use at the beginning?" ”

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "Don't use wood yet." ”

"If you don't use wood, what is it?" Mu Hongyu was puzzled.

"With a quick puree or a book vegetable."

Mu Hongyu's eyes lit up: "Vegetables are a good choice." ”

"Then use vegetables." Zhang Taiping said, "There are two types of commonly used raw materials for vegetables, one is the roots, stems, leaves, melons, fruits and other vegetables with fine texture, firm and crisp tenderness, and pure color; The other category is cooked foods that are both edible and ornamental, such as egg products. The most commonly used is the former, of which the radish is the first one. What horses can be carved out of Feiyan and Double Dragon Playing Pearls. ”

Ye Ling said beside him: "I also want to learn." ”

Zhang Taiping nodded and said, "If you're interested, it's okay to learn it, where do I still have a set of extra knives." He turned to Cai Xiaomei and asked, "What about you?" ”

Cai Xiaomei shook her head and said, "I just listen, just study, the main thing is that I can't sit still." ”

Zhang Taiping's hand movements did not stop when he spoke, and it didn't take long for the silhouette of the little doll that Yaya wanted to come out. Then he changed to a carved knife and flew up and down a few times, and a lifelike little doll came out, standing with two pigtails, which made people know at a glance that it was the appearance of a girl.

After the carving, a simple light was cut and then given to Yaya.

"Don't you need to color?" Mu Hongyu asked.

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "The process I just said is not necessarily to be adhered to, but to be determined by the situation. Just like this precious wood, there are several good-looking patterns in itself, and it is also a symbol of its own identity, after coloring, it may not only destroy the original beauty but also cover up the noble identity. ”

"Oh, that's it." Mu Hongyu looked at the doll that was playing with Yaya's hand thoughtfully.

Zhang Taiping smiled and didn't say anything more, this is a process of exquisite understanding, you can only understand when you should color and when you shouldn't color, others can't explain it thoroughly, if you can't understand it, even if you explain this next, you still don't know whether to color or not to color.

Next, I made a bead chain for Fan Ming, and the rough processing process was simple, but it was troublesome when it was carefully carved. Because he didn't just make a few round beads, he was also going to carve the images of the eighteen Arhats on each marble-sized golden silk nanmu, and add one or two Buddhist sayings, a total of eighteen beads were just right.

Patient and careful in one, it took more than two hours to make it, this did not maintain the original color, but the carved graphics and text on it were highlighted with gold, which made people love it at a glance.

"Alright." Zhang Taiping straightened up and said.

Fan Ming Buddha beads picked up and put them on his hand, turned around, and the happy expression on his face was undisguised.

The eyes of the others unconsciously showed envy.
