The Wood Carving Site
dedicated to the designs, themes, and ideas for Bracing Table for Relief Carving
The Bracing Board is a simple and easy carving jig that will become an indispensable asset to your relief carving. Created from 1/2" plywood and 3/4" pine this jig will allow you to anchor or brace your projects while using a gouge or skew. The front edge of the Bracing Board is dropped over the edge of your work table. The carving project is now slipped into the corner of the Brace. As you push each carving stroke the front edge grabs against the table edge and keeps your carving project from sliding away from the stroke. You can quickly flip and turn your carving project to be braced in the corner of the jig for each cut you make. You will note that there is a terry cloth towel under the Bracing Board. Since many times I will be carving in the rec. room or living room, the towel both protects that table that I am using as well as grabs the wood chips for easy clean up later.
