Here is the lady's friend.

21 X 13 inches, 92 pieces.
I thought this one might be somewhat easiere to do than the woman galfer. He has many more pieces which can be cut from a single piece of wood (timber) rather than separate bits with grain running every which way. But it wasn't any easier,in part because of more and smaller pieces.
Not much in the way of exotic woods used. Mostly Western red Cedar with a bit of Basswood and Aspen (white) and a little Black walnut.
The trickiest part was the face. Nose, Eye,Eyelid and eybrow are all separately cut. Pretty tiny bits.
Here is a close up.
