(the title refers to the carving to be supported not the support itself!)
Pat Sproule has made this gadget, as illustrated in the picture, based on one he was shown at his Hamlett Wood group. Pat thought it may be of interest to our members.
As can be seen it comprises four pieces of wood, the size of which can be flexible depending on the wood available to make it and even the particular carving. It is a parallelogram that can be set narrower or wider to fit the carving to be held. A key feature is that the four screws protrude through the base of the device and their points provide a useful way of stopping it from sliding on the bench.
The carving is held fast by a rope or cord stretched over the top.
