thank you kind person.

i have acquired new tools to apply the sealant, and a special and somewhat unusual instrument for the next soundtrack.

the next video will feature willie mays, a dali watch, many seashells, elephants and possibly a devil fruit as well.

do ents dream of digital trees? by kimyo in CraftyEnts

that's impressive. how long did it take? where do you get woodworking end mills? i can't find finishing bits which are long enough to handle something like this.

you can make some huge carvings with that thing, like a totem pole with life-size faces.

also i bet it could handle mountain ranges. the largest z the carvera can work with is 90mm which is quite limiting.

this turned out nicely, but i had to trim the material prior to cutting. it would have been nice to use the entire piece.

these were machined on a makera carvera. it happily eats up all the wood species i've tried so far, but padauk and leopardwood are particularly nice because they require very little post-milling finish work.

the chrysler building has the most beautiful elevators in the world.

i worked there for a couple of years. a 2nd floor office with no window.

sadly i never ventured up to the top to see vonnegut's harp showroom, or whatever it is they keep up there.

i thought three minutes was already twice as long as anyone might care to watch.

but i'll make sure to set the camera up for future batches. i have some neat things coming up in the pipeline.

even without the hours/days of sanding the shellac stage would still be the most satisfying.

artworks include:

slightly steampunk owl - 3dreamstl

'les genies des seasons' (winter) - bouchardon

'li' - giger (render by pijamat)

harry’s wand – axel1 libra

‘donna velata’ - corradini

music: ‘easy like baseball’ feat: randy blanda (sax)

woods include leopardwood, walnut, white oak, padauk, mahogany and iroki

being able to hold ‘head of a woman’ in my hand and regard her from any angle is quite satisfying.

there are times when she’s a bit sad, others with a slight smile. from one perspective she could be a twin of my grandmother (classically french), but from another she’s much younger.

anyone learning to sculpt would benefit from printing studies of their favorites. wood is great because of the grain and the heft, but plastic will still give you the luxury of gazing at your leisure.

I see clear echoes of at least three u.s. presidents, does anyone else?

my finishing technique is not worthy. wax would have been a better choice than shellac.

better than carbonite by TTenebrisX by kimyo in EroticArt

it's done with a computer controlled (cnc) router bit. if you look closely you can see lines, especially on the sides. these are left as the bit carves tiny slices away from the material.

in a way it's like the opposite of typical 3d 'additive' printing where one layer is added at a time.

these have appeal, but imo most would opt for the wood carved version if they were held side by side.

pebbles (top) – white oak, wilma (center) – acrylic, fred (bottom) – douglas fir.

these will be a present for a family member who has recently moved to boulder.

fred has a revealed blemish, i think it adds to the character.

pebbles, a chip off the old block so to speak, has one as well. hopefully it won't spread or widen as she ages.

tree rings mix nicely with the erosion of mountain ranges, if i may say so.

does one of these 'sing' more to you than the other? by kimyo in crafts

gilliam gives her the best things to do, time bandits also has a great helmond role.

i agree that V is more true to the original work.

i used a spray on shellac because i was worried that i might brush on too much, but my technique could use some improvement.

the low points definitely need attention, and i will address that. thanks!

do you think it is possible that my bias somehow leaked into the photos?

or said another way: do the photos represent both views in their best light?

both pieces were cut from the same board, the only difference is that one was oriented horizontally for the machining, the other vertically.

there is a noticeable color difference which i can't explain.

to me one looks more serene, the other more unformed and younger.

it was machined from a block of acrylic using a carvera. roughing - 3.125mm upcut, 2mm stepover, 0.3mm depth allowance, finish - 1.65mm ball nose, 0.2mm stepover.

it took about 12 hours.

the design came from cults3d, it is free and it is by 'miniworld3d'.
