Small Carving Details

I'm done carving the three legs that go to the hallway table that I'm making. It's hard to match them perfectly when hand carving, you can see some little details that are different. I think that is what makes it unique and fun to carve.Thank you for looking.

Of course they're unique to each other, it's because YOU did them by hand and not some "perfect" machine running a program. Of course the same machine that could do them perfectly will never know passion, self motivation, love, patience, or throwing your beer at the TV because a politician is doing something stupid, or the football player that dropped the game winning pass in the last second of the game. In other words,.........I'm amazed again in your level of craftsmanship as usual, great job Dennis, and a big hello to Patti.

I suspect it would take great skill to detect the variations in the leg carvings and I applaud you for including them.
Forty years after carving this Escher-inspired relief, I discovered an error in the incised detail. It would have been easy to correct, but friends insisted I should leave it. Can you find it?

Great work on the legs Dennis. Did you sand the leaves or is that finish straight off the gouges?

Completed Table Base

I finally finished building the Hallway Table Base. The center section of the base has a loose joint, in order to fit into the elevator. Next I'll be making the top which will have Marquetry Veneer of grapes & vines and an assortment of fruit, which can be really fun working with all the different colors of veneers. Thank you for looking.

Very cool as always. Just out of curiosity - how many total hours will be in this project when done? I'm also curious what you'd charge for such craftsmanship, but that would just be rude!

What words can I say? Other than what others have already said, or what I've said in the past of your work. I don't know any other craftsman at your level Dennis, you're truly given the gift by God in your hands. The only thing I could offer to this is I could make you a stone top for this.
By the way, I just got some Iranian pink onyx, extremely rare in the US as we have no trade with Iran and it's the only place it comes from. I know you'd appreciate it's beauty. My best to you and Patti.
