Beautiful carvings! Very detailed. I have to admit, when I first looked at the picture your legs blended into the shadow of the moldings - I thought you were a double amputee sitting on the window sill ala Lieutenant Dan of Forrest Gump

A little clean and symmetrical looking for PNG, but still pretty nice. 
Some questions I have about the time it takes for you to turn out these pieces:
How long does your computer image generation cut'n paste/3d manipulation work part take? My only basis for comparison: Skinnydogs' showed us their hardware/software setup for jewelry and it took about 35-40 hours to render the original source image to 3d for the cutter setup.
and then, How long does the cutter take to do those that you just did?
And finally,
What are the stock dimensions that your setup will accommodate: smallest piece possible top largest?(Will it do a 6' full round log, is what I'm really getting at...)
Thanks,
Buzzy Out!

I don't understand? Are these hand carved or machine carved directed by computer software? No matter what I think they are terrific. I look forward to seeing them up around your window, please post photos, more the better. Wendy
