I made a full size mock-up of each section with lines drawn indicating each layer to be cut, glued, and stacked to give me the proper size mass.  As each layer was added I roughed out the shape using standard wood sculpting tools, such as large gouges, Abortech and Arbortech Mini- Grinder as well as heavy duty Sanders with 16 grit abrasives.   

With the use of shop made patterns and dividers, I was able to slowly pair down, removing excess wood allowing the final shape to emerge.
