Wawona Progress

Here is a great post by the UW showing lots of information about the Wawona sculpture. There are lots of great pictures showing the final design of the sculpture and just how the planks are picked, milled, then carved. I'm planning of doing a video where I follow one board through the whole process. It will show us picking out the raw planks, laminating them together, then taking them over to the UW to be milled on the CNC machine, then back to us to be finished with adding the flutes and carved down. It will be interesting to see the whole transformation to help get a better sense of just what goes into turning a raw plank into the final form.
