Saw that from fine woodworking.
I am totally impressed. Not only ware the carvings intricate, but he had

prevent expansion/contraction... sealing them up.
Such fine detail, so so small.

I was wondering about the wood too. I was thinking Mesquite might work,
it moves less than 2% from tree to dried. But that is not Mesquite.
