pecking order

Another carved rooster. It's part of a massive carving that I really just couldn't fit all in one photo. I thought the carved ground in this work is so beautiful. I didn't capture much of it because it actually changes further down in the piece.

I can imagine the patience needed to carve that. If I had done it, it would have been firewood before I got very far.
Thanks for sharing this fine scene.

Really is astonishing what has been carved here . . makes you try to imagine the thought-process and planning . . the evolving work.
