I'd hate to come across one of those carvings in the wild...they look so real. Very unique...impressive carvings. Thanks for letting us have a look.

Hi Robbin,
It sure is thoughtful of you to put something on the sculpture for all the birds you have carved to eat. More great creations to enhance the sculpture. I may have to swing byfor a good look on my way to Florida this month.

Bob

Hey buddy great job on the bugs did you carve them all out of one piece or did you attatch the legs after. That spalted maple sure gives them a unique look. Again you have inspired me I should be down before Christmas. I am heading out in all this snow to start another tree carving something new for me I usually dont carve in the winter.
