Beautiful Piece! I'm going to mention this video (and your channel) in the next episode of Wood Carving Weekly. Not sure I understand how the pointer system works, how would you describe it?

[@maloneartworks5912]

It has an adjustable pointer that is mounted on a vertical rod. The rod is mounted in a block of wood that has 2 short dowels on its side. I make an identical base for the clay and the carving blank, with 2 holes drilled in it to match the dowels on the base pointer. The pointer is adjusted to a point on the clay (like the chin), then moved to the carving blank so I can carve down to that point of the chin on the blank. Hope that helps>
