Your work is fantastic,I do no carving as that takes an artists eye which I do not have,but I have done some furniture pces that have taken over a year to do.When done, I am never 100% happy with anything I do.
The things I make are never perfect as I work with natural materials, most of the time,nothing in nature is perfect,really upsets me sometimes.
Sometimes I may spend 10 hrs on a brush handle,than end up throwing it in the trash Bin.
