I've just come across some wooden sculptures by Richard Fox and it got me thinking that something like his could be a fun project to try - I've never tried anything remotely likely this before, having stuck to rather more standard furniture projects so far, so I thought I'd see if anyone here has any thoughts. Have any of you tried making abstract wooden sculptures, with flowing lines/curves, and how would you go about it?
I guess it's a case of figuring out the angles of all the sections (far easier said than done I'd imagine), then cutting the blocks, then use a combination of small saws and planes to get rid of most of the waste. Then glue up (hmm, how do you clamp something like that?!) and finish the shaping with files and scrapers?
It's not something I'll get around to for years, I'm sure, but I thought I'd ask some questions whilst it's in my head!
