Carving Bonus!

Cogsworth from Beauty & the

Beast is fun & easy to carve!

By Marty Leenhouts

This Disney character is sure to grab the attention of

young and old. EZboard, high-density urethane, makes

it a snap to carve!

Rough Out

Apply the pattern with graphite

paper. I used my scroll saw to

make the rough out. Slow down

the speed for greater control.

You can also use a band saw or

hand tools.

Carving Cogsworth

Sharp tools are crucial when carving. EZboard is no exception. Use assorted

gouges and chisels to form the feet and base of the clock.

I used my chip carving knife to outline the

recessed pendulum area. Flatten this area as

much as possible. Spots that are hard to

reach and flatten can be leveled with spackle

before finishing. Because EZboard does not

have any grain, clean, smooth carving can be

done in any direction. Work your way around

the front to form the details. The back can be roughed out and shaped until it

looks like the back of a clock! Shorten the “arms” and “hair” so they stand

apart from the rest of the clock body. Watch the video on carving Cogsworth at EZcarving.com.

The trick to painting this Disney character is to use the same

colors as the original. Mixing unique colors is easy with a

color mixing chart. I use the Golden Color Theory Set.

Select the color from the chart and use the ratio provided

to mix the perfect color. It only takes eight tubes of paint

(included in the set) to mix

any color imagineable!
