              I believe it was mahogany. I finished it with several coats of sanding sealer and wax polish.

                    Almost Egyption style you could say. His name is Mojo.
                    The wood is Cedar. scented to start with but not now after treatment. Not the best of woods to carve.

                          What a lovely creation JJ. As a one off, there will be many who will want that. Are you an ETSY seller?
