Default Womex 2009'

Hi All, Just did the 3rd year at the World of Motorcyce Expo show in London, Ontario at the Western Fair & this is what I created over the two days there. Any critique on the Eagle is appreciated & I think I am getting a little closer with the head/beak proportions on each one I do? Keep in mind this is a live show with limited time & about 98% cs.
Day 1 pics.

Hi ya Dick, Those scantily clad young women are called the "Hooters Girls" from a franchise chain of resteraunts here I think only in North America & I understand they actually got in a little bit of trouble the first year there so they haven't been back as it is a Family oriented motorcycle show. How's things in the UKK anyways?
Thanks, Robbin

Good Morning Robbin,
I thought you had a frog going at first glance, but I like the motorcycle look you came up with. Did you rip your own bench seat???
I was wondering what to carve with my large piece of cypress and now I may make a side for a bench and find some more wood for the seat and other side.
Thanks for posting,
Bob

Hi all, thanks for the great replies. Bob, no this one was one of a few from some Poplar logs I got cut at a band saw sawmill a couple of years ago, they work awesom for benches as they are durable & super light & strong, but must be stacked with strips & out of the sun to dry first.
Thanks, Robbin

The motor cycle with the hand shifter is pretty nifty...if I'm correct - not a motor cycle owner. Like the variation in the two bench ends - neat concept. All excellent work. Enjoyed viewing them.
