This project was listed on other websites, I decided to share it here.

























Here’s the original woodblock print from the book.  It’s titled Girls Feeding Carp.

Thanks for taking the time to view my project and comments are always welcome.

Your design visions are the tops James!

Excellent builds, excellent details.

May have to try cutting some 3/8" mahogany with my 10W diode, I can see plenty of applications with your styles and glass work!
Thank you Ron and Splinter for the kind comments.

I think it’s the best hat and coat rack ever.

Looks nice! My grand father's brother seemed to be a carpenter and I saw he carved something similar for fun like 50 years ago that's installed in my grand father's house (I only saw the finished product).



He puts a paper behind it by duck tape because it's connecting rooms over the head and he doesn't want to waste cool/hot air when he uses an air conditioner. 

No name noobie here

Thanks YRTi. And he carved it by hand. Talent runs in your family.
