video: How to carve a falcon from a block of stone

ByKoen van Velzen 02-11-201512-02-2026

A look into the process from weathered down statuette to copy in new stone, and insight into a number of the tools and (measuring-) techniques I used. The Falcon in this case was originally from the Valckeniershuis (Falconer's house) in Franeker, the Netherlands, and the original dates from 1662. The copy was carved in Bentheimer sandstone just as the original, and stands at 63 cms tall.

A suspect cougar (flying buttress statue)
The following flying buttress figurine depicted a feline beast, I suspect a cougar. I tried to make it a bit clearer that it was supposed to be a cat, but then it looked more like a dog. The next day it all went a lot better, so it looks a bit more feline now. Only the ears don't fit at all. That…

Finishing and Detailing
After a period of vacation I carried on with carving the coat of arms relief. Detailing often takes twice as long as the initial carving process, and this one is no exception. I started with the 'right hand’ griffin (that means officially the left-hand one, because it is seen from the bearer of the weapon…

Five gable stones for Zeeland widows
Five Biblical texts A project where Jelle and I (in 2023 already, it seems like a very long time ago, but I'm way behind on blogging) worked on together were these five sandstone gable reliefs for five widows' houses in Noordgouwe. These stones probably date from the construction period of the houses, the year 1651. It's five…
