<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 419097, member: 8267"]I am not real familiar with South American woods, but it looks like this was carved from a fairly small diameter log. The lighter sapwood is visible on his back and again on his nose and chin, while the dark heartwood is visible on his head and chest. So Might be a clue for identifying the wood used. You would be looking for a dark hearted wood that is relatively easy to carve.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
