[Woodcarver] Question of power

[Tom Clarke]

Byron,

     As long as it's labeled properly and is NOT duplicarving
I agree. Having a CNC machine produce 500 duplicates of any
piece isn't carving, it's manufacturing. If YOU use a tool to
remove wood from a single chunk of wood at a time, you are
carving. Hand, power, sanding I don't care. Also, almost all
carving blanks are created using power tools so even hand
carved stuff isn't totally.

Carving is simply subtractive sculpture, removing material to create a
piece of art.  The method in which the wood is removed matters not,
it's
still carving.   The method used to remove wood can make a difference
in
texture of the final product, but since we are dealing with art the
texture
is up to the artist.

Bottom line... Don't let the nay sayers disturb you.  Most of us that
have
carved for any length of time have used them all, except for maybe a
chain
saw (no chain saws for me yet) and sometimes all the same carving.

Its a
passion for me. In the two years I have seen many carvers say that
power
carving is not real carving. I think that there are many ways to end
at the
same goal. I love power and hand carving. What is your opinion on
this?
