Looking for texturing inspiration, and blown away by the large mural work of Mr. Averly. His website is a joy to look at, but when he shows a fully textured disc with the dimension of 180cm, I'd like to see that in a video!

I did find a nice video on Al Stirt, and that was a great help, but I just can't find anything on Benoit. Maybe if you saw Benoit demo, you could describe his method a little. I read an article where he talks about the rotary chisels, and an Arbortech.

Thanks

I saw him demo a couple of years ago, but not anything like his current work.

He will be in Atlanta ( I am pretty sure ) demoing for the AAW symposium.

Dick, I'm not familiar with this artist, but it looks like rotary carving to me. I've done some, but not to this extent, with cutters from the source linked below. The 1/4" shank ones were mounted in a long neck grinders, and for the 1/8" I used a Dermal. They cut pretty clean and fast, and are not hard to control. They will cut fine forward, or even climb, or drag them sideways. The main thing, is the layout to get a good creative look.

Thanks for sharing the link. It's nice to have new inspirations.

He was in Georgia recently but didn't demo the texturing there. He will be in Atlanta.

He might be using some french hand stitched rotary rasps.

Pascal Oudet uses them on some work.

Not too common, but leave a nice finish.
