The idea from John from Starnberg:
I want a statue of a Buddha made of carved hardwood. It should be about 90 cm tall and draw on a set of pictures I will provide. All Buddha's I know are male and Asian. This one can be female and African, BUT must still capture essential facial expressions and hand gestures.

The sculpture is beautiful, the detail amazing. For me at least, there is magic in her presence and in the suggestion of an African female Buddha.

Dear John,
yes, I took a slow move to give the material time to dry up,and now I have started working it out.
The pictures presented are part of the preliminary work process showing just the general proportion before I start working on the fine details to make it more light with artistic details.
You can give comment on the proportion as it is.
Nice time.
Naftal.

The proportions look good. I am also glad to hear you are thinking about the drying of the wood.

The photos I sent, are the final detailing of the Buddha sculpture, but the sanding and polishing was not yet done by the time I took the photos
however, am on the process doing the polishing to finish the sculpture completely today.

Dear John,
the photos represent the polished and therefore fully completed Buddha sculpture in OLIVE WOOD.
The sculpture is now ready for a delivery.
