Found this amazing carver on deviantart.com (as in deviating
from the norm and not as in pervert). He has a site, in Russian.
I didn't think there were any carvers that could do this quality of
work anymore. WRONG!

If you want the Russian translated to english - cut the
..ru address from this message then go here

and paste it in the "Translate a Web page" box.
Most if this mans work isn't turning - but some
appear to start with a turning.
Figure on spending an hour - at least - exploring
this man's work. To have the skill to make such
things is incredible. To have the soul to conceive
of them - astounding. To have both in one person
- almost unbelievable.
