I am always in awe at how skilled you are. Your back log must years behind. I worked with a Bulgarian woodworker years ago when I was a cabinet maker. He carved the most the most beautiful ships figureheads for museums. I thought his work could not be toped but he could not be your helper. Great works come form your shop. Fred
