i'm with both of these guys on the copying issue. get the original artist to make you a copy but the best thing you could do would be to spend 25 bucks and buy a cheap set of chisels and start carving yourself. i started that way. cheap chisels and found wood then moved up to better equipment. it really is all a matter of time. it's a more satisfactory feeling to make it yourself than to purchased it. good luck either way but if you can, avoid the outright copy (theft) of a piece.
