Wood dimentions are 5/4" x 6" x whatever (6" per letter in height and 3 1/2" between the letters for the links) Basswood.
Thanks for your kind comments

Thanks Herb and other posters --
I keep trying to get carvers back to their roots (ha ha) of whimsical carvings with a different twist. With modern tools, these objects of the past can be made in days as opposed to years, with the same "Gosh how did he do that?".
