- This has been a true labor of love - perfect for the Valentine’s month. Here is my entry for The Arbortech 2019 “Power Carving Madness” Contest.
I was inspired to carve this project from an image I had seen a few years ago in a book (“Super-Modified: the Behance Book of Creative Work), and the artists from the Bonsoir Paris design studio featured their wooden carved sculptures. Starting with what looks like a traditional picture frame, the artists manipulated the wood to emulate the frames melting right off the wall. I had wanted to recreate something like for myself for the past couple of years and figured this power carving challenge was the perfect opportunity to give it a go.
Using 1/2” Baltic Birch plywood - a 30” x 60” sheet - I created a basic picture frame and then added plywood elements to be carved along with the frame. You can listen to my analyzation of the project throughout the video and how I would approach this differently the next time around, especially when working with a material that costs more that sheet plywood (bubinga, anyone?). This was a successful first attempt at creating a sculpture similar to the inspiration pieces, and I definitely learned what to improve for the next one. I also like how the layers of plywood are slowly revealed as you carve through the piece, which emphasizes the depth - although after looking at the completed piece, I think this needs MORE depth to really emphasize the melted/dripping idea.
Hats off to the artists/creators at Bonsoir Paris for their beautiful work and especially to the painstaking hours I’m sure it take to create the original pieces. Truly works of art. You can find more information about their studio on Instagram:

I like it Devin. I agree about the layers buildup. It would allow for more undercutting depth. I think you're ready for that hardwood project.
Thanks. Good learning on this first time around, and thinking about an Arbortech-style contraption to help with the carving too.
OMG, that's amazing!!! Arbortech, you have your winner
That was pretty wild. Looks great
It was a hell of a learning curve. Lots of good learning, though - to help inform the next one.
Great work. This gives me SOOOOOO many ideas. Subbed FO SHO!
Cheers
Awesome, thank you! Much appreciated. I've been meaning to get back to this and make a newer version based on what I learned. Get those hardwood prices down a bit, maybe a summer project :)
Very inspiring! Very cool. I hope you do another project like this again. I have subscribed and will be watching and waiting for you next videos. Keep up the great work!
Appreciate it - thank you!
I'm so bummed that you didn't win. Honestly thought this was the best project in the contest.
Ficou muito bonito! 👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful work but nobody has a shop that clean!
Thank you! And I try to keep it clean for camera :)
You are an amazing artist
That's it! I need a grinder lol
You need to do a video on your workshop area it looks amazing
love it, gave me a Idea for frame for a glass piece, i did that need to figure the frame
I'm glad it's provided you inspiration! Been meaning to make a new version of this project for a while with some hardwood material.
❤ it!
Thank you!
Interesting idea, very well done, but I would work more on the design. I would not want to put it in my home, my personal honest opinion. Keep trying, I love this technique, not easy.
Agreed - needs refinement. It was a big learning opportunity.
Hallo Devin I’ve never thought to do anything like that before but I’m going to give it a try thanks for the inspiration and also could you have used a light coloured stain on the frame and darker on the melted parts .thank again from Ian in the Uk
Thanks Ian - and I hope your project turns out well!
Hi Devin .. really like your piece. What did you use with the angle grinder to power carve your wood
I used a variety but it was a type of sanding disc from the local hardware store - I don't remember exactly what it was and it certainly was not the best option. There are some great attachment options through Arbortech (like their Turboplane), I would check them out if you're looking to recreate something like this. I'll be doing the same here soon, I've got another idea in mind for some carved wood. Hope this helps!
Nice work!
Thank you!
☺️☺️☺️
Awesome, next time stain it 💪💪
Awesome
Now u need to make a painting
#powercarvingmadness amazing entry!
Thank you!
Trier is a nice city isn't it?
I did go there a couple years ago to see my people :) I particularly enjoyed the cathedral. Definitely would return there in the future
I’m trying to listen but this guy is too cute.
Nice work! 👍😎
Thank you! Cheers!
