How long would it take you to carve that?

The craftmanship is amazing for sure.

Isn’t it interesting that the more “technological” our society has become, the level of craftsmanship has declined. Amazing feats of architecture were accomplished with sometimes crude tools. Even when I visit someplace, that was built early in the last century, like the Biltmore House in NC, or Ringling’s House Ca d’Zan in Sarasota, and look at the artistry in the woodworking, I realize there’s no one around who could do that kind of work today.
