Carved Wood Fantasy in Monochrome

Collage of one of my treasured, unusual pieces of artwork.
Woods include maple, white pine and cedar.
It was bought some years ago at Goldies Crafts in Kiama, New South Wales
The wires behind are from my stereo.
This was the only place where the piece would stand with support from the bar below the table.
But the wires seemed to add extra interest to the monochrome.

Tiny wild creature
Peeks timidly from carved woods
Like a wise small owl
