Nope, not done by carbon paper, although that is normally the method of choice for most wood carvers, it was very clear to see he knew what he was doing as carbon will not adhere in the slightest bit to Mahogany most times because if you look at the end grain under a microscope it have very tight closed up poors. Most times you smear and mess up the carbon trace just from removing the carbon sheet. Instead he clearly attached a printout on paper to the wood with glue then traced it out with his router. Then used either a planer, or large joiner to remove the rest of the paper as can be seen by the chatter marks left on the wood where the glue left tear out.

I cant find the exact post, but i know he said not too long ago. "how hard do you really think it is to cut around the lines? i think they teach that in grade school with crayons"

His mastery of the skill comes not from his ability to "cut around the lines" but in that he can from start to finish carve on some of the most difficult woods in the world to work with. Wood that 80% of your so called "master carvers" as they claim on youtube and the woodworking forums would not touch in a hundred years because it takes some serious talent to carve them.

A few more details all of you "masters of making things with wood" are missing.

When carving on hard woods, the only way to do it is to work backwards, With most common carving woods like basswood, you can jump right in with the chisels and get to work. Once you have removed all the bulk material you come in with a dremmel and do the detail work and fine edges.... With hard wood you cannot do this, hardwood is dense and has tight grain. going at it with a chisel is going to cause it to splinter and break off all your detail lines before you can get them cut out. With hardwood, like this piece of Mahogany he is carving is, you have to first cut the relief around all your detail sections to ensure that when you are chiseling that you don't gouge, tear, or splinter places where there are suppose to be fine detail.

Let me just disclose right now before it becomes another piss poor attempt at furthering this witch hunt. I am a carpenter, did it all through college. I make wood things too. I even carve wood, Basswood, Pine, Birch, all the common carving woods. Its really not that hard to do at all. I recently made a coffee table out of Amboyna Burl and Rosewood, 2 very hard woods. Burls are the worst, actually almost impossible to carve. With my now 5 years of carving experience, I wont touch it, i want a design carved into the table top, but would not dream in my wildest dreams of touching that table with a dremmel or a chisel. So i sent the design (guess what i am using images bought from graphic driver) to WC to review, and he very happily agreed to do it for me. It may not mean shit to you lowlifes, but i am honored to have a true master artisan wood carver work on a piece for me. There is no way that 90% of even skilled carvers could do it, and any that attempt it would do nothing more than mess up the piece. Anyways, to summarize. YES I AM A CLIENT OF WC'S, YES I HAVE SPENT MONEY WITH HIM, and NO I AM NOT A SHILL,  i am a man with a brain able to use reason and common sense.
