Ive posted it a few times here, but its worth posting again, this place never ceases to amaze me with the talent people display here.
You have a rare gift Toni.

[Bill Satko]

That's really amazing Toni. I have a feeling someday you'll have your own art exhibit with these pieces of yours.

And his own school in Barcelona. Wonderful work Toni, but I never expect anything less.

Amazing work, Toni. Thanks for sharing it with us. Was this done using hand tools only or did you do some power carving as well?

Thanks Mohammad, no power carving at all, it is a technique that for an unkown reason it eludes me. I have a dremel and some burrs but I'm not comfortable using them

WOW! An awesome job there! That's simply amazing! What's the scale of it?

Thanks Tom. It is almost life size, the background panel measures 91x55cm ( 35.8 x 21.6")

Toni, as usual just superb. I will be admiring another one of your pieces in a few hours just as I do every Sunday.

Thanks Don. It was my pleasure to collaborate on your project.

And his own school in Barcelona. Wonderful work Toni, but I never expect anything less.

Thanks Bill, but I think I would have more pupils in US than here.

[Bill Arnold]

That's a beautiful work of art, Toni!

[Rennie Heuer]

Truly amazing. Well done!

[Bob Gibson]

What a fantastic work of art.

I think you know how i feel about this piece. Has the recipient seen it yet? Toni is there any finish on it? Just thinking of things like dust etc in the air over time and the need to wipe it down? You really are an wood artist. I prefer a black background.

[Vaughn McMillan]

Oh. My. Goodness. That is absolutely stunning work, Toni.

I have no idea how a person can do that type of carving, but it's obvious that you have it figured out. This is a masterpiece, both artistically and technically.
