6 months? That's as impressive as the piece itself. I was thinking multiple years.

not even close....the mahogany cost almost that. then the whole thing had to be moved from eastern long island to colorado and installed. (which i did myself with an assistant) it was carved in 3 solid pieces....each glued up solid than carved. a side note...after it was installed i thought the center section was to frilly....so i pruned it quite a bit...gave the leaves and branches to carpenters working on the site. i did OK but the total job ran into six figures.
