Most of the rough out was done with a “Bow Wire”. The bow has a deep throat and is able to take very large bites out of the foam in a single stroke. As I made my way through the carving, I noticed that the beauty of the scrap, in certain ways, exceeded the beauty of the object that I was trying to create.
