My first thought about this carving was, "Oh, poor turtle -- those nasty crabs are messing with it!" Dave's first impression was "CIRCUS! The turtle is doing a balancing act with the crabs!" Is it any wonder why I married him? **GRIN**

Esteban has carved this delicate whimsy from antler and it amazes me that he achieved such detail. I always think of antler as being brittle and difficult. Guess not, if you know what you're doing!

Each of the "performers" is highly detailed (check out those PHOTOS!) and I think Dave is right about this "Barnum-Bailey-Cousteau undersea trio". They are having way too much fun! The crabs and turtle all have inked eyes. Such a little treasure ... and signed.
