Benz - Thanks! I'm still working on that whole "walking on water" thing. These guys were a struggle and there are plenty of flaws that I see personally. Creating 3 that were very similar was very difficult for me. Most of my carving is done freehand and these guys required a lot of planning x3. Like anything, if I did them again it would not be as much of a struggle.

Seeks - These guys are carved from locally grown Mahogany. The color from the Mahogany is just fantastic and really needs to be seen in hand. I have one more "edge" piece of the log to carve before diving into some really nice heart wood. More to come...

Conga & Grapa - Always more to come...

I took some more photos last night with a bit more light. So here they are, the Cannibal Trio by me. This was a commission for a TC member - their concept, my execution. As stated before, this was a real challenge for me. Started these in April (page 43), put them down for a few months and regrouped/remotivated for finishing. Hope you like. Enjoy
