Wow- what a tour de force. You should be very proud of that accomplishment , and Bill, for helping you.
I'll bet your sister and her husband are very proud of the work you did for them.

I finally finished my relief carving from Bill Judt's carving 
class last June.  Bill helped with the design layout as well as the carving 
process and his class was a great experience - don't miss the chance to go to 
one if you get the opportunity.  Although I put in 10 - 12 hours per day in 
the class I still had some lettering, details, clean-up work and finishing to do 
at home.   I also had to get a proper vise and bench set up to hold 
the carving before doing anything - and to make a small mallet for doing the 
stamping work around the letters.  I sure learned a lot in Bill's class and 
am looking forward to another.  This was hard work but I am pleased with 
the carving, which I named "Free Spirit".  It was done for my sister and 
her husband who are lay ministers and have be active in prison 
ministry.  This carving is shown in the first 3 photos in 
my carving albums at my PictureTrail albums site which is:
