Why doesn't this sound like its spoken from Grog?

Squid, do you use a solid block of wax when you start your first sculpt and how many mold pieces is it going to take to do the skull three.

Grog's gone multi-syllabic! Must be all that deep TC reading and stuff.

Here's a link to a pdf of the general sculpting process. This should give you a good idea of how it goes from clay to wax to production molds.

The stacked skulls will take a 4-piece mold, 1 front. 2 sides, 1 bottom. I always sculpt towards keeping production to as few mold pieces as possible.
