Crow Sculpture Enlargement, in Wood

Here, we do a roughly 2:1 sculptural enlargement of a life sized maquette of a crow, in wood, using our own CNC milling machine, for use as a pattern for a clay mold.  The original is about 16", beak to tail, and the pattern is 36".  There is a 54" version yet to come.  The original 3D digital image was produced by our Polhemus laser scanner, then edited to produce the larger sculpture.  Note that the sculpture was milled in two parts and glued together.
