Anyone Carving Foam? by GaryR52
As in expanded polystyrene (EPS) or polyurethane foam, that is. I'm planning to give this a try as a core material for fiberglass sculpture. Also, it can be finished with a number of other materials, including Design Cast (http://www.design-cast.com/index.php). Gary

Large sculpture? by [email protected]
There don't seem to be blocks of wood available that are much bigger than several inches across. If I want to make a large sculpture, should I glue together smaller pieces of wood? What kind of glue should I use? Is epoxy OK? Should I try to make the core hollow to avoid cracking?

Hi there! I see that Google has it's Groups thing going (Beta), so I figured I'd see if anyone had started a Gourd Group. Apparently not.. yet. But a search brought up this group and others, and so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Vince, and in late 2002 I began a full-color print magazine...
