I think the swizzel features a carving by the notorious chisel slinger Papa Pickman ( Richard Upton Pickman 1908 - ?), whose carving are quite indescribable and are so detailed you'd swear they were carved from living models. I think i have a image of the owner of the devils reef kicking around somewhere I'll post it up later. http://www.atomictonytiki.com [ Edited by: atomictonytiki 2008-11-15 04:04 ]
