I forget the fellas name, but
there's another carver in Europe (Venice, IIRC) who carves realistic
clothing from wood, for some reason I could never fathom. While it
doesn't make a lot of sense to me, he is able to carve a crumpled up
shirt draped over the edge of a table so convincingly, you have to
take a second look to make sure it's really made of wood.

Might have been the guy on one of the Lee Valley covers that carved those
leather jackets?
