Although his pieces are often rounded forms, there is no turning in them—Vaughan doesn’t even own a lathe. All the work is done with carving tools. After extensive sketching and drawing, Vaughan transfers measurements and cross-sections to the workpiece. Then he cuts out the overall shape on the bandsaw. He roughs out the carving with an Arbortech power carver, whose conical teeth, he reports, make it carve quickly yet with great control. He also does some excavation with a hand drill and a shopmade depth stop. From there, much of the work is done with chisels and sandpaper.

I wonder how long it takes him to complete a piece like this. Very beautiful & elegant.
