at the risk of boring people to death, i think i should tell how i came to carving one-off pieces , i didn't get a lot of schooling, had to go to work when i was young. started as a plasterer, seen some beautiful ceilings torn down because of missing pieces, trained in the restoration of plaster, wood, and stonework, 30 years on still at it. now.more time now to do the pieces i want to, i could do with some help with a chainsaw,

Nicely done. I like the way you did the copper tubing for the hookah. Nice touch.
