<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 9769819, member: 4654&quot;]The truth is I don&#039;t know how long these works took but I suspect the sewing basket was one of the quickest boxes I have to make. I not saying the basket was easy but the others are so complex and so well executed I reckon they took months to make. I have a antique Hoshiarpur table and the other day I was looking up the price of a new one as they still make them (not using the same material) and fortunately they said how long it took to make, it takes about a year for a very skilled person. The table I have has about 4000 cut and shaped inlayed pieces of ivory and the ebony as well as making and designing of the table. The mind boggles when you think there was no power tools and a lot of these craftsmen were working on the street as early photos show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
