Sergey Bobkov sculpts with wood shavings. He is a 55 year old secondary school teacher in Russia. He uses ceder and pine and a patented wood chip technique to create the textures he needs to reproduce fur and feathers. All of his subjects are native to Siberia. The 15 pieces completed thus far - some of them taking six months of 10-14 hours days - were created for a school exhibition in Kozhany in southwest Krasnoyarsk where he lives.
You know I always try to link back to an artist's website but this gentleman does not seem to have one. If that changes I will update.
