That is amazing. Carving is a talent I do not possess. Clearly you do.

An exceptional relief carving, & a great job of undercutting with the leaves. They look almost real.

May I ask, what kind of wood is it?

Thanks every one for koments and nice words. The “grapes” was carved from magohany (Gonduras magohany). It’s enough soft and resilient wood for carving. For finish I put on bee wax, which was melted in turpentine. So , temporary my workshop smel like in museum :):):) ... good preservation.

Your carving is really super! Thanks for sharing the progress shots. What kind of furniture was the door panel used on?
