Hand-Carved HDU Oak
Trees
We did a bunch of these trees out of 3"-thick and
smaller ones out of 2"-thick HDU Foam. They were
fun at first, but after ten or twenty of them it was
kind of rough to force myself back out into the sun to
do more. We roughed out the shape with the CNC
then it was just carve and carve with my ancient
Dremel. When we first bid this job I think it was for
only six or eight of them. If we had known how many
we would eventually do we might have sprung for the
software to do the contouring with the CNC. But that
was a lot of money ($8,000.00 - $10,000.00) and they
would have still needed the "human touch". Our
customer did all the priming and painting on them.
