A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. No, seriously. HMS Victory in oak.

Ian G. Brennan carved HMS Victory from an oak timber being formerly a part of the original ship.
Not just a glued model. A sculpture. The keel, sails, rigging, armament.

What an extraordinary thing! I real labour of love.

And how beautiful! Difficult work is one thing, but it's a difficult work looking gorgeous! I love these creases on the sails' clews. And cordage! How easy to crush it. *shudders*
