First, we had to start with the carving work because that's where the bulk of the work lies.

We got very good hardwoods (mahogany), got them dried and cut them into sizes using bandsaw.

Then carving began in earnest.

I must confess here that our carvers disappointed us a lot of times. Sometimes they didn't show up at work for weeks and that got the job delayed. We however ensured we carry out client along and he was very understanding.
