Making method and conception of root carving tea table 1 1

The production of root carving should emphasize "three carvings and seven borrowings" and intentional modeling. No matter what material or theme you create, you must abide by this principle. The carving method should be "three carving and seven grinding", that is, the grinding method based on imitating the natural form of roots, supplemented by a small amount of local carving, so that the carved and polished parts can be integrated with the form of roots as much as possible without revealing the traces of carving.

Root art creation has certain uniqueness. His creation must respect the natural form of the root, explore its natural beauty, try not to destroy its natural form artificially, and then use his imagination to find an idea that can reflect the natural beauty of the root. The basic method of root carving creation is to reflect real life with exaggeration, fantasy and abstraction. He said, specifically, it is to make a comprehensive and detailed observation of the selected root materials and make ingenious ideas. Make use of its natural abnormal posture such as shape, texture, knot, bulge, curve and hole to make a bold idea of combining reality with reality. Find the available value of the material itself with a variety of themes and contents, and be good at finding the extraordinary from the ordinary and gradually determine the overall image of the creation.

Root carving tea table pays attention to natural interest and practical value, while root carving tea table processing is a combination of experience and aesthetic feeling. Because there are many kinds of roots, the root carving master must be experienced, otherwise the cavity for drinking tea on the table will be repaired too much after the roots are cut open, which will affect the appearance. An experienced root carving tea table master will generally observe the roots carefully and conceive them repeatedly before making them, and will not start making them until the design scheme is mature. In the production process, we must constantly adjust the plan. The basic principle is that in the case of clean and generous countertops, the whole coffee table should not be spliced, and such works have more integrity and collection value. For many tree roots with tumors, try to keep the natural characteristics of tumors when making root carving tea table, or try to show the patterns of tumors on the tea table. Generally, there is little or no carving on the tea table with rich forms of root carving, but local fine carving can also be carried out on ordinary materials to achieve the effect of harmony between man and nature.

2. Processing, carving and molding

After you have a good idea, you can start processing. You can cut off or saw off some unnecessary branches, then remove the bark, cut off the redundant roots, process the cross section into a natural cave with fire, and process the convex surface into a tumor to achieve a natural and beautiful effect. We should use abstract, exaggerated and hazy images to reflect the natural image of roots. When some root materials are incomplete, you can choose the root materials with the same texture for splicing, and the technique should be delicate and do not leave traces.

3. Polishing, coloring and painting

Use coarse emery cloth to polish the root material, smooth the wound marks, and then use fine emery cloth to polish the surface to make it bright and recognizable. When grinding with emery cloth, the force should be even to avoid destroying its original color and texture, and the kerf should be polished smoothly. The coloring and painting of root carving works are not only beneficial to anti-corrosion, dust prevention and moth prevention, but also can enhance its artistic wood effect.

4. Material selection

In order to make the works have good appreciation and practicability, the selection of raw materials is very important.

Root wood mainly comes from two sources: one is picked from hillsides, roadsides and terraces; Choose from farmers' firewood piles and discarded piles and roots in the garden. The second is to buy from the market. In addition, the selection of roots mainly starts from the material and form of roots. The variety and hardness of materials are good; The shape is the most distinctive, such as dead roots. Choose some roots with complex morphology, so that more propositions can be found.

There are two methods, fresh peeling and soaking. The fresh stripping method is to clean the roots with water and leave them in the open air for 2 ~ 3 days, so that the water in the roots can evaporate, and then pry them out of the cracks with a knife to strip the bark. Soaking method is suitable for dry root materials that have been placed for a long time. The method is to soak the root material in water for several days until it can be peeled off. Be careful not to damage the root material and destroy the texture. Many root artists have their own peeling methods. As long as the wood is not damaged or damaged less, producers do not have to stick to the above methods. Sometimes it can be used without peeling or retaining a part of the epidermis according to the needs of creation.
