Dixie tree'd

[tnartist05]

The Coon is 2 1/2 inches/from his nose to the tip of his tail

The Hound is 4 inches/from the tip of his nose to his tail

{both are carved from one piece of bass wood and painted}

The tree the coons sitting in,is a hickory tree branch where I skined the bark off.

The base is 3 X 4 1/2 inches a piece of knotty pine board{course I saved some cut off's from the walls Id covered earlier}

Your thoughts or comments are more than welcome. Thks Forrest
