FM, it's beautiful. I will buy it from you. I would pay good money for that. That would look beautiful in my home.
lol a buddy said his mom would pay $1000 for it, though I do think I can sell it yet ( it's actually not really done yet, I still need to put on some doweling but that might take me a year to carve

), and it's cost about $500 to make and I've but over 100 hours into it so i do think I could sell it for the price it's actually worth.
If I had the tools I would love to make another one to sell, I've got an idea for one based on a Shinto gate (or what ever there called)
Did you say that you hand carved the roof? 
The flare or curvature was done on the table saw but the detail was all done with a palm chizsle.
