For my grandson Henrik in MO, I carved a bullfrog. He has been actively catching bullfrogs in his young life and cooking frog legs. I made this as a gift for him as a reminder of my appreciation for his hobby.

This is from 10 years ago. I carved "little Bailey " for my niece in Germany. The late Senior Bailey will be forever missed.
