This is a video of woodworker Oleksandr Hrytsai carving a life-size xenomorph skull out of dozens of cross-sections of oak he glued together. I would have gone with a solid piece of oak myself, but that’s just me and I know nothing about wood, woodworking, or anything worth knowing in

This is a video of artist Bobby Duke carving a pencil into a snake wrapped around its graphite center, slithering towards a mouse atop the eraser. The result is pretty impressive. Not to brag or anything, but I’ve done a little bit of pencil carving myself. Unfortunately, by the time

This is a video following artist Black McFarland of BM Sculptures as he creates an exotic wood and epoxy whale sculpture commission for an event space. He really delivers, and any event space would be lucky to have such a fine piece of art on display. It looks like a
