I'm guessing...Is he shaving/carving a piece of wood and shaping it into a clog ?

HI Azzo
He's shaping the wooden soles from blanks that he had prepared earlier. You can see a sample of finished clogs on his feet in the second shot. He's using traditional tools for the job - There's a whole set of knives similar to the one in my photos, all of slightly different shapes for different stages of the process. He told me that the set he is using was probably made in the 19th century as they were handed down to him by previous craftsmen clog makers.
