Got wood?

I think the guy in the other one has his pants on backwards?

Missed that interesting fashion statement,

Ambo fantasies.

Thread title reminds me I need to lay in a half-cord or so...might have to break down and buy it this year, as I'm way behind on cutting/splitting.

I went out back today and cut up stuff that was too long for the fireplace with the chain saw - 3 wheelbarrow loads ranked under the tarp. Another 2 loads left to split.

Who needs a gym membership when you've got a few cords of logs to cut and split,

Just for Murph!

Duly noted and "enjoyed." They look a whole lot more cuddly. And I'm no vegetarian!

Hmmm. Howdo they do the eyes and noses?
One seems to have a label on its foot.
I dunno about this.

Carved wood?

Looks like a pamphlet or tour program that got placed there. Looks like a giraffe, maybe, behind them there too?

A guy down the street from me who has dabbled with topiary had a "sculpture" that looked similar. It wasn't true topiary, but instead he fashioned an underlying framework of wood and chicken-wire, then packed it with peatmoss and planted some sort of fine-growing ground-cover all over it. It was sort of like a giant chia-pet. Thing looked great, but it only lasted for the season...first frost killed it deader than a door-nail.

Interesting idea.......might have to mock up a T-rex and cover it with ivy.

These bear figures are the result of more than simple craftsmanship, I would submit. I think they border on, or in fact are, artwork, they are so possessed of a "life-ness" to them, even species personality, capturing more than simple anatomy.
