This totally awesome :-))

HMS Victory a first rate ship of the line; a classic design of a three mast fully square rigged ship, is currently being carved by sculptor Ian G Brennan from an original many centuries old oak beam from Lord Nelson's Flagship HMS Victory. The carved hull of this Victory sculpture and the carved 'sea' the warship is sailing in is being carved entirely from within an old oak beam that was removed from the lower gun deck during the historic warship restoration.

That is so cool! Talk about craftmanship.
One of the things I found most amazing was that even the sails are carved from oak!!
Bet he knows a thing or two when it comes to sharpening the old chisels!!
bt he uses the scary sharp method!

Great link PT
