. >> vo sal crafts his work out of a small studio on the pier of the south street seaport museum in newhe museum's own historic ship named wavertree needed a figurehead to grace its bow, they knew who to call. >> how do you start the carvings? >> i start the carvings by, i do a lot of drawings, and i also do clay models of the figure, and knowing the size, i'll start carving, as an example, a head first. you laminate the pieces together as you would a butcher block. >> so what do you do after the finish carving the clay model? >> then you want to get the measurements from the clay model. then i start drawing lines, take the measurements of the eyes, forehe forehead,. i start dropping the head back and bringing the nose forward. if you make a mistake then you have to carve deeper and if you keep carving deeper you add wood in the back because you're taking a lot of wood away in the front. so you can make mistakes but it's costly because it requires a lot of time. >> when it's completed this figurehead will be eight feet tall and will replace an earlier version that sal created many years
