When Did High Precision Three Dimensional Pattern Reproduction in Wood Begin?

12/09/2019 2:33 PM

I was working on a rather interesting pair of carved pieces that were part of an even larger set.

They are so perfectly made that their age makes no sense!

Another aspect of them is global conspiracy theorists gold..

..that's all for now

These Griffin corbels Are just astonishing notice the string of pearls and how round they are.

They may have been saved and put into hiding after the Chicago Fire.

Remnants of Tartaria meant for destruction?

Thanks! That's a good site to ask about these.

Another interesting point about these is their massive size.

Each are about five feet tall and ~100 pounds!

I took steps to keep them from delamination and provided a means to hang them up.

Other than that they have largely been tucked away for a very long time.

I may have to scan them for reproduction some day.

Very nice!

I actually know these aren't made using advanced technology, but they are something to behold.

Great details. I can only wonder how many there were, and what space they adorned?

I'm tempted to carve something.
