Cool is right....I can see all kinds of opportunities in them....jumping salmon, cowboy legs, in the thick one, a cariboo or dragon in the other. Given some thought and a look at them from all other angles, I'm sure you'll come up with some great ideas. Good luck with them and have fun with them.

The larger piece would have to sit around for a while, but the smaller one with the built-in donut, well... personally I can see the makings of one funky handle for a walking cane, but that is assuming it is in the 6-8 inch long category.

Nice find!
