<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LoveTheHunt!, post: 435011, member: 8191&quot;]I groan every time a consignor pulls out carved wood piece. Although they are interesting, they are a huge challenge for me. People all over Earth carve wood, and pieces are rarely identified. It takes people with specific knowledge of wood, ethnic groups, and styles - people such as we tend to find HERE!</p><p>&nbsp; So, here are pictures of one of two pieces laid on me last week. (I may post about the other one later.) The consignor has high hopes for this one - but without very encouraging SPECIFIC information, my expectations don&#039;t come anywhere close to his...</p><p>&nbsp; Anyway - this piece is 25&quot; long, measured directly from tip to tail. It has a flat &quot;foot&quot; such as you might expect it to stand on, but it will NOT stand on its own on a hard, flat surface. The balance and the placement of the &quot;foot&quot; are both wrong. It will stand one way with the tail leaning against a wall on one side, or slightly leaning to the other side. If on a soft surface, it could be pressed into place so as to stand straight.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]152590[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]152591[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]152592[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
