Default "Obama/Bush" Both

This is Obama & Bush carved from a single block of bass wood.{back to back}

They are 1 /3/4 X 3 1/2 inches,painted with acrylic paints.

It was a fun project,guess its my 1st carving in 2009{I dont count the wolves}

Hope you enjoy it and as always your thoughts or comments are welcome.

Thks' Forrest

Forrest... Other than some more of your great carving is there a deep philosophical or political message in this work that we should be looking for?? Like the Yin and Yang of politics perhaps? Ha! Ha!
