-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

I’m not going to count the seeds! Looks great to me. Lots of patiants to accomplish this detail. Fantastic design and build.

Keep it up.

What a fantastic piece of work. I’ve done some chip carving myself, but nowhere near this quality. But I do know what a high skill level you possess to turn out such work. I also like that you are a stickler for the details, which adds even more value to the piece.

Very impressive!

Wow! I got dizzy looking at all the detail. Beautiful work and a great piece of Art.

Really cool, but that sequence of numbers is actually the Fibonacci sequence, it does create something really close to a golden rectangle but it’s a bit different

Very cool carving :)

It came out beautiful.

Wow Dave really nice great job.

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

I love it!!! I love sunflowers, wood, and things in that color scheme. You did an awesome job on the carving? How long did it take?

Thanks all for the compliments. That’s what I like about this site. Total time for carving was about 10-12 hours, I think. I never keep track of my time because I know if I ever get around to selling any of my stuff, I would probably make less than minimum wage on it. After all, we do this stuff for the love of the wood anyway, right?

-- Dave

Absolutely, its the love of the wood and the appreciation from those who receive a personal, hand made gift, a gift that cannot be bought in a store and is not mass produced. I usually find that it takes me as long to work out the design as it takes to do the carving.

Really nice work, well done
