Really nice chip carving, I look forward to seeing more designs when you get around to posting them.

Very elaborate. I wish I could carve I have no artistic skill like that though. I can barely draw stick figures lol

Great job & design.

Gorgeous carving. I admire your patience and attention to detail. Thank you for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

An excellent looking work of art, & craftsmanship!

It will look much better once you add the finish.

very nice work, how much time went into this piece?

-- Chris

Thanks for the nice comments!

I didn’t count the time spent carving it, but it took much. That’s why I don’t do carving nowdays but if some time I have the patience again…

Maybe it won’t have a finish ever because I like the natural surface of the wood for this type of projects.

I have more pieces of work like this. I am going to post them.

lookning forward to seeing more of your work

I agree that the natural look of the Walnut is best in this case…I wish I had the skills to do something like this !!!
