Bonjour…
Welcome to my website.
I’m Sylvain Gautier, a French sculptor and cabinet maker.
Making of Migaloo.
This video shows the making of a mechanical moving whale in wood (also called automaton).
I’ve named him Wooden Migaloo after the albino humpback whale often seen on the coasts of Australia. Migaloo is an Aboriginal word meaning “white boy”.

Making of AQUILA.
This video shows the making of a spotted eagle ray out of walnut with 660 basswood inlays.
I have named her “Aquila” which means eagle in latin. It is the name of a constellation, so I thought it would suit her very well.
