For those with WebTV it is like a square bowl turned so that the four wings
would touch the table but two bowls joined together at the rim so that there
would be eight wings (four pointing up and four on the table.) Apparently
the V between the upper and lower wings is cut with a skew chisel (a quick
shiver there as I typed this).

He then carves off three of the downward pointing wings and one of the
upward to get the shape shown.

Now you have to have a lot of nerve and a large amount of skill to do that.
