Sorry I haven't been as active on the forum lately but my schedule has me stretched pretty thin. Plus I haven't been doing anything unique/different from my previous posts. I believe this build may qualify for unique and is note worthy.
The carve time only took about 8 hours but the setup was extensive. The superstructure was cut in 3 pieces and the profile alignment required some attention. The mast is double side carved and the flight deck needed to be rotated. the hull was cut in 2 slices and 3 segments to create a 3" inch thickness. From stern to bow measures 73" from mast keel 20". The coin slots mimic the angle of the flight/landing paths and accommodate about 50 coins.
