Even the carving skills there fall into insignificance compared to the planning involved with that !!

Amazing skills, but I think all the parts were carved from one piece of wood rather than the whole from a solid lump. But the sails really are a formidable bit of work.

But maybe it is from a block. I just can't imagine the cross grain rigging being doable.

Yes, I somehow suspect all from the same piece of wood rather than one piece....................

I'd agree, the grain is running in several different direction.  However, it is still an extraordinary piece of work
