Thanks Andy,
It took a good bit of time to finish.
It is made of hollowed out Tuepelo........a friend provided me with the two large chunks.
He has had them about 20 years or so. Not even sure you can get pieces that big now. It measures about 32" long X 13" wide and about 10" high on the body.
The preening head adds another 4" or 5" to the height.
Having never worked much with Tuep. before I was amazed at the difference in hardness from one end of the chunk to the other.
My friend said the part that is submerged is less dense and above water line is more dense............?
