    Pretty spectacular. Plus I love otters. My FIL was a very skilled carver.

    David Robinson is a self-taught, 30 year professional, who carved this amazing table surface with Otters swimming across it. He works mostly with chisels he made himself from old penknives and bits of old Land Rover spring, too.

          Very nice. Presumably, he puts it under a glass top supported by some rubber-ish feet.

            It's either that or shoot anyone who defiles it.

              That is some very good sculpting. Very impressive.

                The smoothness of the surface is impressive. I assume he's sanding that.

                Got a link?
