Default Finished Raven and the Beav.
Now Beaver has a friend.
I more or less copied Raven from a photo from, "Carve your own Totem Pole" by Wayne Hill and James McKee.
Thanks for looking.

Keep on carving and you'll have your own full totem pole as you carve each peice. Those are very nice carvings. Your painting really makes them stand out. Well done, and carved from a picture!

The color really brings the details out.
Great beaver too.
Since the proportions are the same, will you try to stack them? and add more?

Those are really neat! That would be cool if you kept adding more carvings to make a totem pole.

I should of thought of making them so they could stack. The top of the ravens head is smaller than the base of the beaver. It doesn't look right. It may be an idea for the next project. Kind of like those nesting dolls only taller and not as friendly.
Thanks
