ice carving secrets: ship’s wheel design
This design showed up in the March/April issue of a newsletter. It’s a straightforward design that involves stacking one half-block thickness slab on top of another and requires slightly more than one block for the full design. The text from the original article is included below:
“Ship’s Wheel”
Dawson List, New Orleans, LA
Good for any sort of nautical themed event, a ship’s wheel is fairly easy to execute. It requires two half thickness slabs of ice stacked one on top of the other and frozen to a stabilizing base. The outer circle of the wheel is an ideal spot for snowfilled lettering if the event calls for it.

The diagrams below illustrate the basic block structure of the piece.
