Wow! Makes me hungry!

 

[Perry Gardner]

Bob all joking aside, how many hours does it take to do a fine piece of work like this? My thoughts are a whole lot of them for this kind of detail.

 

[rjm6254]

Your thoughts would be right "a whole lot of them for this kind of detail. " No kidding.
I didnt keep track of my hours on project to be specific seriously I dont discuss how long it takes thats a rule I adhere to.
Best regards
BobM

 

[Perry Gardner]

I understand. Just such fine detail. That is what make this piece look so great. When you can show a close up and it looks this real it is a tribute to a true craftsman. Thanks for sharing it with us.


I guess you could call it "Bob White"
