I am constantly amazed by how talented some people are.

As an aside: I know why the smilie faces have been added but I find them frustrating surely this is art and not **** and that we can all cope with seeing the item as it should be?

What Claymore said! That really looks quite outstanding.
Thanks for sharing.

PS> I agree with DiscoStu, surely we are all mature enough to deal with real art?

Love the form/shape - very impressive, love the excellent and attractive finish, not too keen on the pink highlights.

 

[Dominik Pierog]

Pink has really light accent. The colour and wood structure looks richer because flash from camera.

Not art it's soft ****. Clever though.
You might get away with it as long as you don't get caught spending too much time alone with one in the shed!
I'd paint them pink and give them wigs and a bit of make-up.

I'd paint them pink and give them wigs and a bit of make-up.

And that's how a certain sort of mind can turn art into soft ****. #-o

[Damn! Sucked in by the devil's advocate!]

Wow, so many skills that I'm yet to learn. That's phenomenal.

With those curves it probably had to be sanded & polished by hand. :twisted:

 

[Dominik Pierog]

Not published photos from the polishing using water and car waterpaper. They looked obscene.

Fantastic work.

How did you achieve the final finish?

Such skill.

Artistic, and totally awesome...

I am in in awe of your craftsmanship - you have captured my wife in her early years, only now she is bigger :-(

 

[nanscombe]

Fantastic work.

How did you achieve the final finish?

I would imagine that a lot of rubbing was involved in bringing this project to a climax.
