[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 3007357, member: 301"]Ahhh....the single straight blade knife technique...........which leads to only one conclusion............... a Williams family carving ! The tags are mostly consistent with story....but 2 glaring assertions are very wrong. The 1st Nations of the pacific Northwest Coast , did not have gods.....and the carving ( which could be seen as a mask..) is a Nuu-Chah-Nulth carving ! Finding Washington State carvings up in Alaska , was a normal occurrence. It looks to me like old growth yellow cedar, and being unsigned....leads me to think it may be Sam's carving....but that remains uncertain.
