I dare say there's a bit of truth in what you say. I'm only charging around £7.50 an hour - not even skilled labour rates. But I do love it.
I'm fed up of carving the ball exteriors, though, having done ten so far and another fourteen to go.
OH MY GOD
I never realised it was like that!!!
That is amazing, yay for you. The detail on such a small place is astounding.
OH OH OH, Do us a beehive one :D him up there on the left!!!
That's a skill well worth learning then, apparently =D Does it take you a lot of time?
Also I think that you should get shots of them all, assembled and of the insides, and put them up on a web page.
I'm going to do a web page of a range of my whittlings soonish.
Yay =)
I used to do wood carving but it's been a long time, I'm afraid. I even did a nice cat once, but it's long since been fed to the fire.
Your balls are truly amazing!
I too was wondering why you were calling the flat picture a ball. It all makes sense now. I am most impressed indeed.
Excuse me - I'd like to point out that I was in fact the first person to recognise that this is "the thread that wouldn't die".
