Dustin Baker is a professional artist. He creates his art in alabaster and other stone using only a hammer and chisel. Baker created 6 pieces at Mount Rushmore in 2011. After several requests to sculpt a Bison or Tatanka, and since the Buffalo appears on the National Park Service logo, Dustin agreed.
