JohnnyP, I haven't really kept tabs on this guy, as he's had a few sessions squeezed in around other work, but I'm guessing it'll be around/under a day's work finished. Very few of my pieces ever get made in one continuous go, as it's hard to sutain energy for one piece for so long, so I tend to pick away at several carvings and just do small sections at a time. Often when I think they're done they end up getting more little details added on to them.
