he may be doing them on a 3 axis CNC machine from models built in one
of the 3d modelling apps. there would likely still be significant hand
work in sanding and paint, but the carving itself wouldn't hard on the
back at all...

Wow, I'd like to see one in real life as the pictures just can't show the
detail. Check out the pricing on them. http://www.gofraser.com/pricelist.htm
The quilt just got crossed of my wife's Christmas list.

You did see that you can click on the picture to make it larger?
My wife makes quilts, real ones, and sells them for much cheaper. ;~)

I'm curious as to how he secures his carving while working on it. He needs
something big to clamp that thing. And in all kinds of positions.
But most importantly, would doing stuff like this be real hard on yor body?
Particularly your back. From having to assume all kinds of positions to work
in close.

One could create a bump-map from an image in an app like Strata StudioPro
then do a contour trace by density and convert to .dxf
A cakewalk, really.
At the minimum, he might be projecting a contour trace map from a
transparency with an overhead projector. I have done that by projecting
a rendered image of a cabinet proposal (printed on a transparency) over
the top of an industrial range at a customer's house. They could
visualize the arches and mouldings..it sold the job. I was even able to
scale the proposed unit somewhat by moving the overhead projector back
and forth. Then, when the customer was happy, I traced some of the lines
onto the wall, and did my measurements from there. Unfortunately, there
isn't always room to set up a projector like that.
I have used an overhead projector for projecting letters for signs as
well. Bought the projector at a yard sale for $20.... Knowing what it
can do for me now..I'd buy a new one if I had to.
Sooo simple. Find a font, kern it, scale , dick with it until happy,
print it out on a transparency, project it onto whatever material
(mostly solid surface in my case), trace it, jigsaw, badda bing etc....

Imaginative, fresh, delightful.
Three thumbs up.
Thanks for the link, Larry.
(btw.. his pricing doesn't seem out of line either.)

Um, no. Not even a little bit, but thanks for the thought.
(I like popped woodgrain, like a wooden Ferrari, not paint.)

They still haven't found the source of that Canuckistani
mutagen, have they? (Or is that simply the result of a
really wild childhood, Rob?)

There was pricing on that site? The marionettes were a giveaway.
