These fellas wouldn't be too happy here with the weather we are having.But I did them to feel warm. Anybody there want to reciprocate and do an eskimo?

The Sun Worshiper has Western red cedar mainly. with ebony(eye & nose), black walnut(ears and bottle),aspen( foam), yellow heart(beer) and Oak (deck chair wood )and Poplar for the fabric.

Koalas: This grey is Pine that is weathered and/or mouldy( or was, it is now just coloured). The branch is also pine but one that was exceedingly heavy with pitch.So much so it almost qualified as a "Gum" tree.
Eyes/noses, ebony

Gday Bob
I thought you had frozen.
Wonderful work as usual on the Kangaroo and Koala. Must do them myself one day.
The wizard was great as well. I will have to do him myself. Might even do the witch for the wife as well.
Thanks again for the web page link.

Steve.

Hi Bob

They are wonderful pieces! As shown previously, you have the ability to choose timbers which give so much character to the subjects, they look so realistic. Superb work! :)

Nice work on those, will have to do them myself one day if I ever get around to doing the gecko intarsia that I have.

Would do an eskimo but dont recall ever seeing a pattern for one :p
