<p>[QUOTE="Christopher, post: 251536, member: 1646"]Thanks for the link Hollyblue. While i couldn't get it to play it did point me into the direction of cnc carvings. I see what you mean. Some larger carvings are done on cnc axis machines. However this one appears, upon close inspection, to be completely hand done. There are too many inconsistencies in the surface, especially on the smooth rounded areas (boys head, koi's head etc.) Also there are areas where you can still see evidence of the rough chisel work that was done, especially under the koi's tail. I only wish whoever did this piece would have marked it in some way. Either way, my better half has deemed it too large to live in my collection since the area for my carvings is limited to a shelf in my office and is not to find its way into other parts of the house (sculptures of people creep her out) so it will have to seek residence elsewhere in the near future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
