Thank you very much nomolos!

tikigodz yes that's bamboo from a kind named tacuaron here, that has a much thicker wall than the normal one.
I'm using this two tools, and lots lost of time and patience, it takes me at list 30 hours to do the rough carving deep enough, and then at list an other 10 to make everything neat, and the burning and scratching part for the color.... way to much time, I know...but in a way is what make them extra special to me..
and I cut them with a hand saw (not the power tool)

Benzart thanks so much chief, very glad you dig! :)

congatiki thankyou very much, yes a lot lot of cuts went into this one, thanks for noticing :)

laojia thanks! great choice of music, Davis & Coltrane, it can't get any better than that, can it? Davis sound is very submarine to me too. it's sort of an honor to me, that this song pop into to your mind, because of this pic. I wouldn't choose it to wake up tough, you must be a very cool and calm person, i need more power in the morning, this is great to go to sleep, in my case. Thanks again.

Lake Surfer thanks very glad you like the theme!

MadDogMike thank you pal glad you like the detail and coloring tons of time went into this one!
