Some old timey plugs

Some old fashioned plugs I carved out of basswood. The finish is just painted on with a brush, it would have been better with an airbrush I'm sure but I'm pleased with them. The last two have a crackle finish to add to the old timey look.

The thickets and woodlands bordering the river are more often the home of the grey fox than it's more famous brother, the red fox. While the red fox loves nothing more than the open fields and pastures away from the riverbank, the grey fox is right at home. The gray fox's ability to climb trees is shared only with the Asian raccoon dog among canids. Its strong, hooked claws allow it to scramble up trees to escape predators such as the coyote, or to reach food sources. The grey fox is omnivorous and eats everything from rabbits and mice to wild grapes, and the myriad of small creatures that abound along the river.
