[QUOTE="NaturallyArizona, post: 3415891, member: 17955"]Thank you all! I'm fascinated with the feedback given here. The numbers are certainly unsightly, and unfortunately placed. My preference would be not to see them. I'll either sand (after a bit of practice), or fill with a pigmented wax. I appreciate the thoughts and considerations with both ideas, thank you. It does seem like there is consensus that Timothy Kutchaka is the carver. Would there be any benefit in removing the sticker to determine if any additional numbers exist? Sure, a hunter behind a blind or even tanning a hide seem much more likely than a sled (I wanted to at least venture a guess). And either the blind, or tanning idea makes even more sense when you consider the second piece! They seem to be by different carvers, but very similar in style and appearance. The second one is large as well. It's about 12" x 6" and weighs about 20 lbs. When viewed together, might they possibly form a scene? Hunter behind a blind, then knifing the bear. Thoughts? The social insurance numbers are present on this piece as well, but not nearly as featured. Thank you Antiquers!
