These remind me of the storybook trolls from when I was a kid. You know, they lived under the bridge and you couldn't cross the bridge etc. I like'em too!

Definately look like trolls Cliff .. cute carving it is ..

But kind of ugly little fellows at that ..

They could be backwoods hermits that havent shaved in a long time ..

Thanks for sharing ..

Cliff,

I Googled on "Three Billy Goats Gruff", and then clicked on images, and you get a bunch of images. Not sure if they're the same as the pic you posted. But it seems Three Billy Goats Gruff originate in the UK since a lot of the URL's originate from there.
