My friend yes , Yes it's a long work and a big projekt but not counting the time what is important is that you like .

Thank you, Stefan, for providing all of that information about this beautiful creation of yours.

660 hours would be equal to working 82.5 eight hour days on this composition. If you had worked 8 hours a day for 5 days a week it would have taken 16.5 weeks to complete!

Whew! That's a whole lot of work! But what a beautiful creation!

Thanks, again, my friend! Cheers!

I would be curious to know how much time was spent doing the engraving on this piece? I don't know how you could even put a price on something like this. This is truly art!
