What would you use to carve something like this rather than hand gouges?

An Arbortech held in a hand held grinder is my bet...
Or a smaller grinding/cutting tool in a Dremel type tool.
Cheers

I would have though an Arbortech would be too big for some of those contours wouldn’t it? Thinking about it maybe something like a 1/2” ball burr in a drill would do it.

Yeah I wrote that before I twigged it was a clock face and would be too small. I think a burr ball or similar is probably not far off.

Angle grinder with flexible backing pad and sanding disc. Grit to suit how quick you want to remove material.
I use one quite regularly for crude material removal wood or metal. left overs from when I had a metalworking business where they were used to blend metal after welding. Nothing like the solid discs you normally associate with grinders.

Is it me?
Can I see working marks circulating from the centre of the face. Does that mean a CNC machine was employed to carve it?

Yes, you could be right.
I had actually thought before that this would be an easy job for CNC.
I did also think that it could be done with a bull nose bit in a router but planning it and controlling it may be difficult.
