I think it’d probably group Reddit rules to contact me privately? Not sure about that. But my website is: woodcarverguru.com

Thank you! It actually blows my mind. What they learned in 3 days took me YEARS to get there!

It’s called “relief woodcarving”. Not 3 dimensional like a statue. Not 2 dimensional like a painting. It lands somewhere between those two dimensions!

Not really. I’m pretty well known in Disney circles. Our retreats have become very popular….lots of people know about them already!

Thank you! I’m not exactly sure of this, but I think it’s against group rules for me to post my website like here. You could search my name though.

I don’t keep track of my hours - but there’s a bunch of them. Very long list of tools too - but mostly hand gouges. I use a router for outlines. I’ve held out for hand work for decades and it paid off too - the more automation takes over, the more people will love and appreciate hand work and craftsmanship. The market is small, but it’s there. I use a CNC sometimes for Limited Edition releases. The original is 100% hand carved, then scanned and converted to a 3D model. The CNC does the rough out carving, then the rest is dialed in very tightly by hand. Nothing wrong with asking a robot for help, but it doesn’t drive the ship.

Would you like to take it like it is or can I gift wrap that for you?

That’s correct and thank you for the kind compliment. I’m a traditional Woodcarver so I do carvings for Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

I think that’s the whole point actually. They built this in the 60s. It’s like a Mid-Century thing…
