All 157 of them. It pretty much took all day. I kept asking myself if doing all these extra embellishments were worth it while I was working on it. I didn't have an answer for myself until I was done. After I walked away from it and came back and looked at it for the first time, I decided it was worth all the extra work. It is now awaiting sanding. Here are pictures I took right before finishing the carving part of this one: It was a lot of carving doing these details and it was essentially doing the same task over and over again. Not the most exciting day, but some are like that.
