Good work Roger. I saw photos of this concept when it was still in pencil. This is just a wonderful gift, and will be a cherished treasure for the couple.

You are a Modern Master of chip carving and this is just another example of your keen eye for design and prowess with a set of knives. Bravo. We are also to proud to say that we have two RS’s in our house!!

Excellent work with a great central theme!

Beautiful work!

$250 less $20 for the material leaves $230 for 14 hours of labor, which comes out to $16.42 per hour. That may not be a king’s ransom, but it is pretty good considering most of us do our woodworking at $0 (less materials) just because we enjoy it.

Excellent work as usual Roger.

I was wondering what you were working on as I hadn’t seen a posting for a while.

Its very interesting your break down on the balance of time between your design and your carving.

Great Job Roger. Great carving. Well at least it keeps you in the shop.

Thanks everyone for such nice comments. When I come up with a design that I like I’m always uncertain what others will think of it and it appears that the design is acceptable. Thanks again.

Beautiful. Can you come to California and teach me how to do this? Chipcarving DVD went in one ear and out the other.
