That looks absolutely awesome thanks for sharing that I want to carve something now just to try it.

I'd imagine that any of the woods that are highly hydroscopic would work well
so even radiata would do but something like redgum probably wouldnt work.

Bob, the timber for that sculpture was boxwood - don't know about its hygroscopic properties, but would hardly compare it to pine. I would have guessed that it had more to do with resilience. Maybe we can try with olive?

Very interesting exploitation of wood's resilience. For another example, see https://www.woodworkforums.com/showth...t=44003&page=6

Interesting, Joe. That confirms that the more spongy the wood the more you can squish it. Now we have evidence that with some hardwood it works at least well enough to raise the frog's bumps that fraction of a millimetre, maybe that's as far as it can go.

I certainly wouldnt trust my left hand in control of a hammer, not when its aiming anywhere near any other part of my body
The wood that the carver was using must be pretty soft, it looks like she does it without a hammer.
