    Wow that's amazing, well done

    With some black paint and then interference paints to look like abalone on the inside, you could have fooled me it was real

    Absolutely awesome work - well done. Definitely worthy of any top class gallery anywhere.

    I hate to think how many hours went into that....

    I think when a experienced craftsman/artist patiently focuses his undivided attention on a subject , something about that depth of penetration is communicated to the viewer , insight is offered.
    This I believe is how how your carving "works" - Excellent work !
