Another Old World masterpiece!! Your carving details are superb and walnut is not one of the easiest woods to carve.
I just spent almost 2 weeks trying to carve 2 cherubs and they are very coarse compared to your work.
Reminds me of Joe Rundell's work. Pull Joe up if you haven't already. For what you are doing his museum quality work will inspire you to greater heights.
Maybe you can even catch up to him down at the Cafe!
