Flat-Plane carving gives the appearance of being one of the easier carving methods;
in truth, it may be the most difficult carving style to produce successfully.
The Gunnarsson family of carvers produced some of the finest examples of Flat-plane.
This is a Gunnarsson carving showing mastery of the Flat-Plane style.
Out of dozens of flat-plane carvings in my collection, this is the finest example.
