Totem Pole

I have always been interested in Native American Indians.  I wanted to make a totem pole so I found an 8' tall, 10" in diameter piece of Lodgepole Pine from the Bitterroot Mountains in Idaho.  It weighs 100.5 lbs.  The top figure is an eagle holding a fish.  The second is a wolf (notice the sharp teeth)The third is a man.  The fourth is a beaver (notice the big teeth).  The fifth is a warrior.  The bottom is an Orka (killer whale).  It is all hand-carved, painted, and sealed with marine varnish.
