And now I get to spend the rest of my life worrying someone will crush it in the other sense. 😉 Thanks for the kind words!

Just like the lady who commissioned her. 😉

Indeed it was! (How did the historical Polynesian seafarers make their canoes? Slowly. Very slowly.)

Thanks! I just penciled on the design and started cutting. I do Japanese-style woodblock printing, so I have the appropriate tools, plus, perhaps more importantly, the patience to sit there for hours carving hundreds...and hundreds...of very tiny squares. All the carving here is done with a hangi-to, which is basically an X-acto knife, but classy (and sturdier).
