Very nicely done Rhami, I love the wood effect and the overall finish is excellent, the spoked wheels are a great touch.

Mistakes?  What mistakes?  She's absolutely perfect, Rahmi, except for those crosses.  They look a little boxy to me. ;) Just kidding!  I love the Turkish markings.  They really set off the fabric and wood colors.  By the way, your wood grain is brilliant! 
Cheers,
Bud
