Depending on size my owls have been anything from £45 for a 10" high owl standing on a short log to a 24"ish owl on a log for £150 generally in between size is about £85

 

Meercat was £120

Sounds good...Did you sell the meerkat for that, I fancy having a go at a meerkat to for their popularity...

Yup but was 2 days work 18-20 hours I did the head........... didn't like it shortened all measurements by 1/2"......................... didn't like it shortened all measurements by ANOTHER 1/2" basically carving 3 heads.

...But still very impressive. I guess there very smooth curved so harder to get a good effect..

Lol. Compare the meerkat nice 1 abercarver.

Whatever you price them at make it worth your while don't forget it's art and no piece is ever likely to be exactly the same.

Very true..

So, did we get a definitive answer on where to get teh glass-marbles for the eyes?

look perfect for the job

Lathams in Norfolk is part of the QD people QD Stores so the plant toppers (poor quality marbles) should be available in a few more places but it seems mainly Norfolk.
