seat of learning

A local school is wanting to make their somewhat drab and soulless courtyard more appealing so i volunteered to carve them a bench. The kids made design suggestions and this is what came out. Many thanks to Tommy Crags for his advice and hints on how to get the owl right. Its people like him and many others on here that help us poor wood-hackers slowly turn into carvers
