Hey Leon, give you any ideas? ;-)

That little piece of art is valued at a million and a half bucks. He made an earlier piece that sold for $500.000. Talk about high end work (and prices). It took him six years to build it. It was built as a tribute to his parents.

There are artists, craftsman and work that make feel humble and unskilled. Thai makes me feel like a one celled creature. That is totally over the top. There is lots on info on this on the web. This guy is well known in his native Australia. There are so many drawers and secret compartments in it that nobody is certain that they have found them all.

I would never have the patience for something like this. But I got to admire his craftsmanship, artistry and sheer tenacity.

Those figures you've mentioned don't seem all that out of line considering the materials he's used. I wonder what kind of outlay he had to spend for all that exotic wood and material?

OMG... that's beautiful, and the craftsmanship is something I will never achieve in multiple lifetimes...

Thank you.
