No argument that this is not the fine and finished work that is the general standard for tajong hilts. But it is not the product of an unskilled artisan either.
Certainly it is a bit on the rough side (yep, noticed the eyes). Imagine what he could have done with another week or two...  |
For these carvers who do this sort of work day-in day-out, it's really quite easy. The hardest part is when they have to do it creatively (i.e. not reproducing a standard "template"). And as the luxury brand people always harp - it's the finishing touches that takes the most amount of time.
