      So, Walter,

      You do the dimensional mark-up for your (sculpture or fireplace mantel) in SU--- and then send to the computer to carve? :") HA

      Your detail is immense!

      All the Best from a frustrated carver,

        Drawing for Tudor fireplace 91-M
        Finished fireplace laid out on my shop floor
        Detail of the fireplace.
        Just finished this one, it's ready to crate and ship.
        Those top corner pieces were a fun bit of geometry.

              What inspiring work - thank you for showing it to us. It's also fascinating to see how you use SU - I love the tidbit about tracing over the SU output!

                    Here's another. I finished this one 18 months ago, but just had the opportunity to visit the home and take photos.

                      Another one from a few years back; I started modeling it in SU v.2, then mid job upgraded to SU v.3.
                      It's a double-wide Tudor, rather unusual. Both fireboxes are wood burning masonry. I finally had the chance to visit the home a couple weeks ago, so I could take these installed photos.
