<p>[QUOTE=&quot;techbiker, post: 4480255, member: 60629&quot;]Do you see any splits or cracks in the figures? Was the storage unit you purchased these from climate controlled? Do you see any mold lines? Are you sure the figures themselves (not the bases) are hollow?</p><p><br /></p><p>If you see no cracks or splits and the figures are hollow, I doubt they are made of solid carved wood. Pulp, plaster, etc. maybe! I&#039;m not a wood carver, however I have a few years of trim carpentry experience. Solid wood just isn&#039;t dimensionally stable, especially without very good climate control. If the figures are hollow and made of segments of carved wood, I would also expect to see seams somewhere. I also don&#039;t see any wood grain where the paint has been removed from the lady&#039;s leg.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doubt they are made from plastic either as I don&#039;t see any mold seams.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another observation is the underside of the bases look different. The man&#039;s base has a lip and the lady&#039;s is flat. I suspect these were created by different sculpturers/manufacturers (maybe at different times). Would be interesting if you can find seams between either of the figures and their bases.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. I could be completely wrong. Just a guy on a computer going off your description and pictures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
