hello, amazing job! could you give me an idea of how long this project took from start to finish please

Given the intricate design it took about 16 hours to hew and carve and 5 weeks to dry out. I did this over the course of 2 weeks. In between sessions I wetted the ends to prevent cracking and kept it in a plastic bag. Hope this helps.

Heck of a nice array of tools in this video. The crosscut saw in the beginning is gorgeous, so is the broadax and the frame saws, and all the rest of it. This really looks like fun!!

are those Japanese chisels you are using?

Glad you enjoyed the video. I have a couple other videos for carving - check them out. Let me know if you need any specific tools. I have a bunch I never use and could send them to you.
