  2. Bob Conrad says:

    Ingenious! Very clever way to sculpt out of wood, a whole different way to carve. Please keep us informed of the progress.

  3. David Ferdinand says:

    Wow, wonderful work, makes me want to try again! just curious if you are using bass wood and what thickness planks?? Keep us posted.. Thanks Dan….

  4. Looks like 3/4″ to 1″ pine wood to me. What a great idea though. Scott Byrte should put together a how to builders manuel/ plans to sell. I would buy one. What a fun project to try. Great Work Scott! I wonder what he charges to make one of those figures?

  5. Keith Suranna says:

    Scott himself can provide the exact measurements, etc., but I can say that he is carving my figure from basswood. I couldn’t be more pleased with his work. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with this gentleman!

  6. Scott Bryte says:

    I use basswood for the head and hands, and pine for the body and feet (both of which are carved adn contoured). I did make a dummy head and hands out of maple once, but it turned out to be a less than brilliant idea. the maple was so hard that i broke my power carver (it’s like a dremel on steroids) three times. I get basswood cut to 3/4 in thickness, and try to get it as wide as possible, which ususall works out to about 9″. I only need it that wide for the middle pieces (where the nose is). If someone were to order a dinosaur or a dog or anything with a long snout, I suppose I’d have to come up with … well … something.

    Scott,
    I love your work! Ingenious!
    I have some basswood that has been cut and planed into blocks about 2 inches thick by 8 inches Long and 6 inches Wide -4 pieces. I had them cut over 15 years ago. I thought I would try and sculpt something, but never did. But you have inspired me to approach such a project differently! I love the methodical process! One Day! Thanks for sharing your work with the vent world.
    Ron
