Hello, Patrick
Wow! These carvings are beyond excellent. I realize the great amount of time required to create the details.
Here is a carving I did back in the 1970s. It's a black duck decoy sitting on my workbench. These decoys were hand-carved, hollowed with a gouge, glued together, finish-carved, and then painted with acrylic. Same deal-- labor intensive. :-)
