Mayan calendar

[Pratyeka]

completed the carving of the calendar on MDF, dia 14", depth .150", quality Best, 3.5hrs carving time.

I guess that is the minimum size for this carving, as any smaller would loose much of the finer details using the 1/16" carving bit.

Certainly a conversation piece at any size. Now, table top or wall plaque? 28" or 42"

I just see it as a nice carving. Our current "modern" calendar ends every year on dec 31... no end of world yet... Their cycle ends in 2012, it will just reset to 0, just like new year.

There is a lot of mystery pertaining to the calendar its entertaining to wonder about it

Thanks again and I can’t wait to see your table.

I Know Ron,

It just struck me a little funny --- there was a TV show about all of it just last night.

I think all of Pratyeka's Patterns and carvings are always top Notch
And I plan to carve the Calendar Pattern as soon as I can.
It will fit in very nicely with a few other pre-columbian art pieces I have.

I completely agree. Once i put my machine back together from being a guinea pig, i definitely want to carve this one. I have a close friend that has his entire house decorated in pre-combian art... some real, some fakes but all beautiful works of art. I think he might appreciate this one if finished just right!

I look forward to the next outstanding piece!

Thanks again Pratyeka!

I always thought that was just a load of crap. Until this year, that is. Now.... don't know, just might be. We can't keep spending money at the current rate until 2012. If China decides to collect what we owe them... who knows, might not need another calendar.
