Love this work, thinking of using it on some of the goblets when (if) I get good enough. Makes such a difference to the work.

As with any type of process it is not about if you can do it, it is about just keeping going until you can. This is nothing more than fine carving using rotary tools and burrs, it is more about the design concepts and putting it all together.
This is not aimed at you in any way, but I find that often people are more interested in the techniques for how to physically produce the work rather than learning about creativity or the design process itself.
Once we understand how to create and the process of design we are off. This is I feel one of the big issues woodturning has as a craft, its often all technique.
