Koala

[Claude]

This is an Australian Koala. Carved from basswood and painted with acrylics, it stands about 8 inches tall and is mounted on a small base.

Very nice and my wife wants me to carve one now. Both she and I do like the carving, Claude. She also wants me to do a panda ...I better try both.

That piece is _really_ well done. Saw some in the wild when I lived in OZ.

Claude,

I love it. Would like to do one smaller. My grandchildren live in Australia. I get to go to the rescue for Koala when I visit. Not far from where they live.

Thanks for sharing

Nice job Claude! Blinky Bill will be proud of you!

Very nice! It looks like the branch was carved as part of the koala, is that right? Complex positioning, well done!

I lived in Melbourne, Vic., for 4 years. Grad student/Biology/PhD LaTrobe Uni.
Lots of koala in the Philip Island colony. Many field trips of 7-14 days.

No doubt about it Claude, that's a fair dinkum koala! Well done and easily recognized, and the pose is "spot on"
