Well done Francesco, good wave action and you have the sails ballooned right. Nice work.

Great way to personalize a gift. You should get quite a reaction when he sees it.

I try to capture the motion and the action of the sail boat. The wave are not so easy to transfer in wood.

The wood usually has the final say on wave action. You start out with a rough idea on how you want the wave action to look, but the wood really does show you what it wants to present, itself.
