      Nope. It’s not possible in this or any universe to carve anything with hand tools in a more precise or clean manner than with more advanced tools.

    As a child in England I picked New Zealand as where I might live when grown up - I learned so much about it but never went there. The isolated man reminded me of how I feel -that connection to my place (in England) knowing every tree and plant and feeling part of where you are.
