Outstanding! Simply outstanding. Does anyone know if he uses power or does all of that with hand tools?

Bob, thanks so much for sharring this thread, This takes carving to another level.
Does he hand carves or power carve?
Thanks again Bob.

He is a great artist, its almost like a dream when you look at his work like he has all these thoughts going on in his head at the same time. A bit to busy for me.

I'm not sure...I'll check and see how much he carved with edged tools and how much with power tools.

For the candy cane article in the magazine it was all edged tools.
