I've met a lot of carvers, but I've always wondered what woodcarving was like. I have watched roughing out with mallet and chisel, but it looks like the detailing is mostly hand/palm work using leverage? Very quiet and contemplative stuff.
It's pretty amazing to think that those guys are just students, and most of em pretty young at that. The standard of carving in this country is (and always has been) incredible. Maybe I need to start drinking V again!
