Rhino?

Eben is making another copper "relief" (?) sculpture in a similar fashion to a life sized sturgeon that he made 4-5 years ago.

It starts out with 3-4 layers of MDF plywood glued together and hung on the wall. Next step is to draw a Rhino on clear paper and project it up on the plywood and drawing the animal on the plywood. Now is where the super tricky part comes in, carve away the plywood to make the shape more dimensional by using chisels and angle grinders with cutting attachments.

When the plywood carving is finished he will place 20 gauge copper over it and hammer the copper to duplicate the shape and elevation change on the plywood. The reason for taking all of the time to make the plywood "negative" is so you can make more than one copper "positive".
