Hand-Carved Wooden Relief Ornament

My brother Peter is one of the most talented people I know, so I was thrilled when he asked me to draw some ornamental details for a library he is working on. We started out together painting commercial murals around Ireland, but he has since re-invented himself as a first-rate bespoke furniture designer and cabinetmaker.

The drawing above is for a section of torus molding that will be carved by hand, so my drawing had to read as a practical road-map for the carver.

Here's a drawing from the architect showing the rough layout of the library units. I can't wait to start working on the central ornamental element and those capitals. Details to follow.
