Beautiful work, as usual. I sure hope the owner cleans the rust off the adjuster screw and knob, to respect the great artwork you've accomplished.

Thanks to one and all for the positive comments!
As far as time- that's a trick question! I've been doing this work for about 8 years- with practice and graver coordination comes speed- but continually studying and working at this enables me to "see" what I need to accomplish and add in more detail- so it's about the same amount of time, but much more detailed!

You've been working that same plane for 8 years?
