sperm whale reference material - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Does anyone have, or know where I can find, good reference material for the skin texture of sperm whales? I'm just starting a carving now and have a while before I get to the texturing, but I can't seem to find any close up pictures of their skin.

Actually, if there is material on any whales. I'd appreciate it, as I'd like to do several different whales.

Thanks,

Al

Sounds like a whale of a lot of work on a whale of a lot of material to me.

Well, if you do, then he'll be a 'regular' sperm whale.
