A friend of mine carved me this out of a solid piece of Lime as therapy after cancer treatment.
To me it is priceless.
It is 255mm long x 140mm wide x 130mm high + the plinth.

Lovely that Bill I bet you were well chuffed when he gave you that it's a piece of art mate.

That is a treasure Bill, absolutely amazing. Some people have so much talent, I can't even draw a matchstick man and make it look like a man.
