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. The price is $25,000, which isn't too bad considering what it takes to produce. Look at how it's done... Even if I had the patience to carve it, I couldn't do the painting. 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. |

I saw that too, but to get to the first picture, he clearly used a router, and probably used a band saw. The rest was by hand, but he used power tools too. Nothing wrong with that.

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