Aug 26, 2010: Wood Sculpture
Randall Rosenthal sculptures wood.
It's not whittling, it's a little like carving, but like nothing you've seen before. This is made from one piece of wood... even the rubber bans, and the box. http://cellar.org/2010/carve1.jpg The price is $25,000, which isn't too bad considering what it takes to produce. Look at how it's done... http://cellar.org/2010/carve2.jpg Even if I had the patience to carve it, I couldn't do the painting. :dunce: His website with a lot more pictures. via |
Lets see.
Take a picture. Pass the resulting jpeg to the CAM software. Send the resulting G-Code to the router. Put wood on the router table. Press Start. Go have a sandwich. I do think it's cool. Much better than dead babies. |
That might work for getting a roughed out blank, but you'll still have weeks of carving ahead. Especially with wood, where things like those notebook rings tend to snap off.
|
Yeah, the router will get you to picture one. Pictures 2, 3 and 4 require hand carving. Routers can't do thing like carve the ends of the scallions. They can't get underneath.
This guy is very talented. |
Imaging technology, CAM Software, computer driven routers... Defeated by scallions!

Well right on his site it clearly says:

You put it in the path of an obsessive clutter-remover, and wait.

kind of like one of those nickels welded to a nail that you are supposed to pound into the floor.
