Update,
I'm just about done. Just have a couple spots that need attention before I can apply some stain.

Didn't know if there were any members on here that'd heard of this place let alone actually been there.

Staining is done.
Took 5 different stains & some green pickleing on the leaves.
Three coats of lacquer as well.
On to the lettering, antique ivory.

That's it for today. Can't hold the brush still any longer...

Bravo!

Most people don't have the patience to do such beautiful work.

May I ask what was the estimated hours put into such a work of art?

I'm obviously not an accomplished wood carver so it takes me much longer than someone who knows what they're doing.

I have 120 hours in this from initial layout drawing to spraying the final coat of lacquer.
More of a labor of love and some more experience than anything else.

... and the folks at So*Vi are good people !
