Same guy, different view: The Schlefferia wood has a beautiful texture and a pearly appearance. I'll be on the watch for more!

The bottom section of the Long Beach Big Boy The "Why Me?" expression seemed appropriate for being on the bottom.

Mike, I really like your carvings, they have a vintage feel to them. I like how you have your own particular style of carving.

I lean to the traditional. I think particularly because this Art is inspired by the spiritual searching of a people and is worthy of respect.
Thanks for your kind thoughts!
