Dean build time was about 10 hrs on and off, work to it wood was seasoned so was harder to carve .I have bad arthritis in my hands and fingers so I now use power carving tools ,http://www.classichandtools.com/acatalog/copy_of_Skil-Carver.html and http://www.classichandtools.com/acatalog/Arbortech-and-Accessories.html Mini Arbortech carver
