I can answer some of these ?'s for Jimmy. The wood is Dimensional pine 2 by's from Home Depot, cut to length of usually 3 to 5 feet and cut to a 30 degree angle lengthways and then glued and pegged together. after carving, he will add cross member supports on the back of the carving . Good old douglas fir or pine, which ever Home Depot carries. JImmy is starting to use more chisels and gouges in his work and is trying to get away from the cartoony look of years past.
