Chapter 92

Jade carving is very difficult, which is something that all carvers know.

The main reason is that jade has high hardness and poor toughness, so it is not easy to carve. You must use special carving tools and carving techniques to start. The difficulty is many times higher than that of wood carving. Where to start.

In addition, jade is very valuable, and jade is fragile. If you are not careful, it will collapse, and the whole piece of jade will be completely useless. Therefore, jade carvers have to be careful and careful when moving their knives, for fear of accidents.This also virtually increases the difficulty of carving.

Of course, the jade carving here refers specifically to jadeite, that is, jadeite.

In the past, when carving jadeite, jade carvers used cowhide to add jade sand to grind a little bit, a little bit of frustration, and it often took several months or even years to carve a simple work.

Well now, with an electric carving knife and a special grinding head, using the high-speed rotation of the grinding head to carve, the speed, efficiency and effect are more than a thousand times higher than before. A skilled jade carver, when using an electric tool, Carving a simple pendant would take at most an hour, and it would take less than half a day including polishing and other processes.

Of course, there is no shortage of tools here. The problem is that Han Zhenyang has never used this kind of electric carving knife dedicated to jade.

He had an electric knife in one hand and jade material in the other. He looked left and right, not knowing where to start.what to do?Looking for help?That's too embarrassing. I boasted a lot in front of Sister Shengnan just now, but now I admit that I'm cowardly, will I be able to hold my head up in front of her in the future?

While hesitating, he suddenly thought of his own abilities, his aura.

Doesn't aura increase sharpness?When I was in Chenjiagou, under the blessing of spiritual energy, I used an ordinary hacksaw to easily cut through the extremely hard copper alloy, so can a carving knife easily cut through jadeite?
With this thought, he was in a good mood. He took out an ordinary alloy carving knife, poured it with spiritual energy, and carefully sliced ​​off the jade material.

When the knife goes down, stone chips splash, leaving smooth and even cut marks.

God, it's amazing!
Han Zhenyang was overjoyed. If people can accept this kind of carving style, he will be the first to establish a school.Carving with an electric grinding head is convenient and quick, but after all, it lacks the randomness and naturalness of hand-carving, and there is no trace of handwork at all, and most of the lines are shallow and thick, which makes the style of jadeite carving almost unchanged and cannot be expressed. Out of the variety of hand-carved.

But he can carve jadeite as wood, and can perfectly present various carving techniques, such as the fine carving techniques that are almost impossible to achieve in jadeite carving.In jadeite carvings, the thinnest lines are a few millimeters, but in wood carvings, they can be thinner than a hair, not to mention extremely fine micro-carvings.

Think about it, if one day he can make micro-carvings on jadeite, what a sensation it will be?

Thinking of this, Han Zhenyang was full of motivation and energy.

With the blessing of Aura, the limitation of tools and the hardness of materials will no longer be a problem.

Han Zhenyang drew lines on the jadeite material according to the drawings, fine-tuned the shape and color of the material itself, and then began to cut the knife. The jadeite, which is harder than glass, is softer than cork under his knife, and it takes almost nothing to carve. strength.Of course, the consumption of aura is a bit high, there is no way to do it, there is no good thing in this world that does not give but only reaps.

In order to save aura, he used an electric grinding head when making the blank, but in terms of details, he used pure handwork, so that the carved objects are not only more delicate, but also have obvious traces of knives and axes. Personal style is particularly obvious.

In less than half an hour, a snake-shaped brooch was freshly baked.

This brooch is carved out of full-green ice jadeite. It is only about five centimeters long, but its shape is elegant and unique. It is as vivid as a small emerald green snake, and it is very cute.

Han Zhenyang took advantage of his ability to finely process jade, and carved fine scales for the little green snake to make it look more agile.The fine and dense scales are next to each other, and the smallest diameter is less than 0.5 mm, which is a precision that electric grinding heads cannot achieve.

Looking at the exquisite brooch in his hand, he could already imagine the scene where this style of jade carvings would be popular all over the world.

Twice in the palm of his hand, he got up and left the workshop.As soon as he opened the door, Qiao Shengnan eagerly greeted him, "Which step is it?"

In addition to the process of material selection, design, and polishing, the carving of jadeite is divided into three steps in the carving alone.The first one is blanking, and the material is roughly processed according to the requirements; after blanking, it is pondering, that is, to carry out fine processing on the carved piece, so that it can meet the design requirements as much as possible; after pondering, it is hand, finished Hands are what people in the industry say. In fact, they are the detailed processing of carved pieces. The most common is to outline hair, eyebrows, facial expressions and other details.

It can be said that this is the most time-consuming and difficult step in the jadeite carving process, and it is also the most important one. In less than an hour, a rough blank can be made, so Qiao Shengnan asked this question.

Han Zhenyang smiled and said triumphantly: "Sister Sheng Nan, you underestimate me too much. What kind of process is there? Hey, I have finished carving and can polish it at any time."

"Bragging!" Qiao Shengnan rolled his eyes at him, and he couldn't believe what he said, because according to common sense, it was impossible for him to happen.But in the next second, her ruddy mouth opened wide, and she stared at the snake-shaped brooch in his hand in a daze, her eyes were full of disbelief and surprise, and she came back to her senses after a while, "This, this is really Did you carve it?"

Han Zhenyang curled his lips, "Who else but me? Aren't you guarding outside?"

Qiao Shengnan ignored Han Zhenyang's little resentment, carefully picked up the lifelike brooch, looked around with his eyes shining, and then took out a magnifying glass to observe carefully, the expression on his face was so tangled, both surprised and happy Still a little puzzled, it took a while before I asked, "How did you do it?"

"Hey, do you want to know?" Han Zhenyang asked back very awkwardly, then raised his neck and said, "I won't tell you."

"Tch, you're still arrogant," Qiao Shengnan rolled his eyes again, and then said to himself with a puzzled face, "This mark doesn't look like it was made by a grinding head, but it looks like it was carved by a knife, but jadeite The hardness is so high, and the jade is relatively brittle, how can it be carved with a knife? Moreover, the diameter of the scales is less than one millimeter, and the lines are less than one-tenth of a millimeter. With the current carving technology, it is impossible to do this ..."

He stared straight at Han Zhenyang, "Quickly, how did you do it? If every piece of work uses this kind of carving technique, then we will make a fortune."
