"Absolutely gorgeous"
This was lighter weight than I expected but it was beautifully carved and finished. I was also concerned about carrying it with me since it was a gift that I had to travel with, but found that it was wrapped and protected to perfection. And...without a bunch of plastic. I love it. Thanks for such incredible work. You can tell this was done with love.
