🔪The sculpture started like any other, but the ending was different - engineering the shark to swim.
🧠The sculptor enlisted the help of an engineer to design the mechanics for the moving sculpture.
🌊The sculptor found inspiration in a moving whale sculpture and wanted to create a similar effect.
🎨The sculptor used a template and carving techniques to create the basic shape of the shark.
🪚The engineer used CAD software and 3D printing to design and prototype the mechanical parts.
How long did it take to carve the shark?
—The sculptor spent 3 months working on the sculpture, including roughing out the shape and adding details.
Who designed the mechanics for the moving sculpture?
—The engineer collaborated with the sculptor to design and build the mechanical parts.
What inspired the moving design of the shark?
—The sculptor was inspired by a moving whale sculpture and wanted to create a similar effect.
What materials were used to carve the shark?
—The sculptor used a giant mystery log made of bastogne walnut to carve the shark.
How did they make the shark swim?
—The engineer used a combination of brass rods, bearings, and other adjustable parts to create the swimming motion.
