That is simply amazing. I cannot remember where but saw a full size to scale wood carved bike on display once. I cannot imagine the time and talent to do something like that.

With that talent I am sure he can carve anything. There are high dollar items for homes etc. that I am sure he could make an excellent living doing. My guess is it would be hard to come out ahead doing bikes like those. How many folks would pay what I would estimate it would take time/ hourly wise plus a profit. How many could he actually do a week or month?
