Love that hook with the tribute koro, really well done all the way down and around, the inlay too. Don't worry too much about shaving time off your pieces, as you get more experience what took you 10 hours 30 days ago will now only take you5 hours and will even include more detail. Just look at what you are doing now compared to 6 months ago: And that was excellent then but probably took you forever compared to today?? I love your Smaller hook too and the last piece you are doing is going to be a real Nice one too. You have a special talent so Let it go and grow, don't try to stifle it!
