Carved 15 hours plus on project !!

WEll I just completed carving Michaels Tylers "Classy Christmas Wreath) took a little over 15 hours. Guess what, not one problem using the Rock on best and it turned out great. Wife loves it. The flex shaft never got warm. I would never have believed it until I seen it and felt it for myself. I just stained it and will top coat it tomorrow and will post picture if I can ever figure out how.

I wonder why it took 15 hrs when instructions said approx 10 hrs, could it be the
later software version?

Yes, you are correct - later software versions did indeed increase the project time. I decided not to worry about editing the time stated in the instructions since project time could vary anyway, depending upon software versions.

By the way, I saw your photo of your finished Wreath in another post - what a super job you did!

Thanks for the comments, using the best mode the cleanup was very min able, about 20 minutes.
