[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 9426991, member: 301"]to me , from here.....they look like red cedar wood , old growth, possibly saw mill cast offs or a beach find. The bear holding a frog is an unusual design , and the eagles standing on a frog, and the notched out back to hold a one piece pegged wing, lead me to suspect these were all native carved for a growing tourist market in the late 60's , early 70's . The 3 smaller ones show the carver was producing for sale to local stores....and likely died leaving these unfinished items to family members , later to blow in the wind.[/QUOTE]
