Aug 26, 2010: Wood Sculpture

[randall]

hi ..i just found this site. heres the deal. i use a bunch of conventional shop power tools like a table saw and a router, and even hand held rotary tools. in my world that still falls under "hand made or hand carved." no cnc or computer cutting. actually three quarters of the work is done with a straight edge, a mat knife and a fishtail gauge.

in real life they look real from a few feet away but up close you can see they are wood. often the grain is visible or even a knot or two.

thanks for your interest.

In my world too. A good craftsman, or artist, always uses the best tools he can get his hands on, but the tools aren't doing the job, he is.
Welcome to the Cellar, randall, and thanks for filling us in with the inside dope.
