Hello Clarita,
I haven't been on here for a while due to internet connection problems and stessful family issues. "When it rains, it pours" as they say. So, I haven't made a lot of progress on any thing new but here are a couple of things I've been thinking about.

This Yipwon caught my eye on my last visit to the museum.

I hacked this small one out of a 2x4 but now I believe I may do a larger one... maybe 5ft or so. The museum piece is about 8 ft.

These grade society figures are also on display.

I started this one a couple months ago along with the Yipwon.

Here is how he looks as of yesterday. Tree-ferm is hard to come by around here so I carved mine out of hackberry. I'm pretty sure it's almost the same thing. :) I will definately finish this one up and maybe a couple more to keep him company.

The next two guys are older carvings that I spruced up a bit. They promised to behave themselves so I let them out of the closet and back into the sunshine. I will try to catch up on everyones threads when I get a bit more time. Thanks for your interest.
