Description

A sculptor's workbench is covered with a variety of hand tools, wood shavings, and sculpting equipment inside an artist studio. A teal and black electric chainsaw sits on the left side of the table alongside an array of wooden chisels, gouges, rasps, and measuring tools scattered across the surface. In the foreground, the rough-hewn texture of a carved pale wood block is partially visible. Behind the work table, transparent plastic sheeting is taped against dark studio walls.
