[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 9434353, member: 301"]Northwest Coast style is the best one can hope for here . I concur with [USER=55]@all_fakes[/USER] perspective , only to add that Bears don't always have teeth , the designs in the shoulders and hips ...are nothing but green blotches ...which bothers me..... and I find the eyes to be the best part of the carving..:eek: It's all hand made with a single straight blade..... something the Williams family is know for..... & the wood is proper. No siggy is an issue for a recent carving , even a swiftly made tourist item.... They are certainly cute......and I guess I'm inclined to think native made , not really seeing any off shore red flags......but the painted designs are far from good. The idea of copper footed bookends is actually interesting......so a young Salish carver banging out souvenirs is not out of the realm of possibility..[/QUOTE]
