I forgot to ask:
What kind of material is that stuff?
Looks like terra cotta.

It's a machinable plastic, almost like precast bondo. It used to make sample tooling as well plug assist tooling (used to help push material into mold). You can also use it as a pattern when you want to have something cast.
It is very easy to work with, if you make a mistake just super glue a piece on and start over.
