 Animal totem Yes it me again and guess what no woodspirit. I have a commission to carve an animal totem for a gentleman's 40th birthday. He evidently is a wildlife enthusiast and spends may hours a week caring for wildlife that has been hurt. The ladies that requested it wanted a beaver and a deer at least. The totem stands just over four feet tall. It is made out of white cedar. I have roughed in a beaver,deer,bear, and owl. This is just the first hours work now the detail will take form. I intend to put artificial eyes in to give it a little more realism. It has a long way to go just thought I would show you the start. Colin

| Re: Animal totem I'm keen on seeing how it goes Colin - something I always wanted to try is a totem pole...perhaps more of a Native theme. You've taken on quite a project. Keep us posted. Patrick |

| Re: Animal totem Thanks for the nice comments I will update as soon as I get more done. I am busy, busy with tree commissions in Toronto so this has been put on hold until the weekend and then I have to finish it because I am carving all next week again. So should be able to finish it or come close by the end of the weekend. Colin
