A three-dimensional mirror-image duplicating carver for producing a three-dimensional mirror-image of a three-dimensional object. First and second platforms are rotatably connected to a frame about spaced apart parallel first and second axes, respectively, and also parallel to the base. The platforms rotate equal and in opposite directions only to effect repositioning. A three-dimensional object to be duplicated in mirror image is attached to and positioned centrally on the first platform while a carvable workpiece is attached to and positioned centrally on the second platform. A support member includes a stylus and a carving tool having a carving tip spaced from the stylus a distance equal to the distance between the first and second axes and lying in a plane perpendicular to said base. By repeatedly tracing the stylus lengthwise along the object after the object and the workpiece are rotated, then held stationary at incremental angles of rotation through 360°, the carving tip removes successive narrow longitudinal slices of material from the workpiece producing the three-dimensional mirror image of the object.
