I #carved a whale out of #epoxy and #wood. I used various woodworking tools to powercarve this whale out of 11.5 gallons of epoxy resin. This is one of my most unique sculptures to date and one that features a tremendous amount of woodworking and epoxy resin working. Follow along to watch this whale come to life!
