It's a great picture because it shows how this fellow would look fully restored with its own natural wood color. I'd love to carve a smaller replica of this piece someday. It would be great to get a piece of that Apitan tropical hardwood that Bob mentioned. Does anyone out there know where such an exotic wood could be obtained (short of traveling to Samoa)? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On a separate note, Maureen told me that she probably wouldn't be up to restoring this piece herself, and that she is considering selling it "as-is". I'll keep you guys posted on this. A-A
