Roger: Your mind and your hands do fantastic and magic work.

Beautiful.

Really nice carving . I could never get those joints to work so nicely , I would have had gaps everywhere . Great project .

Great work!

A very beautiful piece! That took a great deal of skill. Very nice job.

I looked at the star on the projects page and it looked like . a star… and then I see the first picture here and say “wow” .. and then I click on the next and my jaw drops .. and then the next and the next.

That centre star—first of all, to think of adding that star!! What a surprise it was to see it.. and then the intricacies of that star added to all the details of the rest of the piece… man oh man.. extraordinary!

Hi Roger,

I believe Karson said it the best. Absolutely amazing work.

Thanks everyone! It is a good feeling to know that the carving has potential for a blue ribbon at the woodcarving show I sent it to.

If you use your imagination a little you will see arrows that run out to the points of the star. The inner star points are used as the feathers. ;-)

Wow is right. That is such a fabulous carving. The design is amazing and the carving is so detailed, intricate and crisp.

Thank you everyone for the kind comments. I have around 10 hrs. in making the star and 20+ carving it.

Great work. I like the use of the texture on the center star. It’s good to see something truely different—and original.
