The Lion King. (and a little bit like this furry little elitist who used to live here)

Pretty bass!

There are a number of animal faces in the back depending on how close you view it. Now if you could backlight the whole of that bass it would look quite scary at night.

MWT, WHERE do you get these woods?  Mars?  That's either the coolest thing I've ever seen   . . . . . or the scariest.  What an axe!

We search high and low for wood, but so far it's all terrestrial. My mom spends lots of time with the positioning of the wood in the templates. A nice piece of wood can be underwhelming if the position on the body isn't considered with the placement. She never goes for maximum yield, she goes for maximum impact.

Well your mum is sure doing a great job as you guys seem to use the most interesting pieces of wood for your basses.

Yes. And if I keep looking, the owl's beak becomes the face of a monkey with his hands in his lap.
