Photo Hunt


Today's theme is WOOD.


Here is a Madonna bust, carved from Philippine Mahogany, from . . . you guessed it - the Philippines. My parents bought it during their travels in the early 60's. It has always been a favorite of mine since I was a child - I love the curves and feel of the wood.

When I got married, my parents gave it to us as a house warming gift for our new home.

Please visit my cat's blog, Cat Banter, to see other examples of WOOD. Thanks for visiting!

A lovely wood and a great shot!

It is a beautiful piece--both because of the wood itself and the very artistic scupture which makes good use of the medium.
