I made this for my girlfriend.

This took countless hours but the end result makes me think it is worth it.

I like the chip carving… What wood is that?

Beautiful carving! I hope she’s a keeper. With hand crafted gifts like this, she may never leave. Thanks for sharing.

benihun,
That is absolutely gorgeous! I don’t even attempt carving, because I don’t feel I ever have enough time to complete anything. But your time on that box was well worth it. Thanks for sharing, if I can’t view some one elses’ carving I’d never see any! I can certainly believe I’m looking at countless hours. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful…........

Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis
