Default Interesting synthesis with horses

Dear woodcarver-friends, during my today's visit to the second hand furniture store wherefrom we have purchased all our furniture (Dutch) I came across an amazing piece of woodcarving. I asked the shop owner and he told me that the wood is some kind of tropical one otherwise that piece which I estimated at least 2 meters tall and almost 1 meter wide with quite some depth would have been quite impossible to move since would have been extremely heavy. I thought that some of you would be interested to see it and I asked the shop owner to let me take a photo. Here it is. I hope some of you like it. From Hungary with love......

Hi Ga Doug, I could not afford it let alone that our house is already crowded. We could not add a pin. I just thought that some woodcarver-friends would like to see it. Perhaps some may even get inspired.

dear Sam, please tell your daughter and your wife I would gladly invite you over if your both ladies can afford the two way flight cost plus USD 2030 for the purchase of the Horses synthesis. Especially under current financial worldwide conditions. Actually, I would like to see who in this country could buy that artwork bearing in mind that this amount is a good two month's salary of someone who's getting paid rather well. I actually dont know how old is your daughter but I can assume that if she is too young that piece will wait for her to grow. I'm glad you liked it. Take care.....
