KNELART 03

This giant sea shell is 8-feet long and 4/5-feet tall and wide. It was commissioned by 801 Fish, a seafood restaurant in Kansas City, Missouri. We utilized Hot Wire Foam Factory tools to do most of the work – including the 4-Foot Bow Cutter and Freehand Router. The tools are huge time savers!

THIS PIECE OF FOAM WAS CUT AND SCULPTED WITH A 4 FOOT COMPOND BOW CUTTER
