Re: Duplicarvers OK...in my opinion...ha ha I seem to have a lot of opinions today..the roughouts I have seen, only really do a very rough shape, you still have to have the talent to get the item out of the rough wood.....an example...what if you build cabinets and someone said to you, buying lumber is cheating, you must go to the forest, cut the tree and mill the log yourself? Seems to me to be the same principle? I don't have a duplicarver and probably never will, but I am not a purist, so I see nothing wrong with it.....I do think they should say they are from roughouts however....especially for the collectors. But even then, no two carvings are going to be exactly the same any more than two paintings can ever be exactly the same. IMHO |
