Thank you very much for viewing.

Beautiful.

Brave and masterful chip carve...:up: (kudos)

I absolutely love it!

Definitely following this build! A master builder!

Nice...! Totally dig the carve...

Yikes! Your carves appear so consistent. That must take a certain amount of Zen to do that. Pray the phone doesn't ring in the middle of it! That is neat!

I don't think it comes any more perfect than that.

Masterful! Never seen anything like it! Awesome!

Absolutely amazing!!

I'm imagining that just a little too much pressure and the knife will go right through the top and ruin it...the workmanship on a Kobayashi is always worth the visit to the thread to view it.

Impressive.

Wow! That is a fantastic rosette! Very creative, and beautifully executed. Well done!

You are a brave man.

Ryosuke, I am impressed with your carving. Beautiful rosette.
