I thought of bunch, flock and heap but of course you are right, it's a gaggle

Thanks Gaz,
Must say that I find whittling very therapeutic and addictive

I think you could do it. Your little chaps are great. I love them. My wood carving skills amount to two wonky spoons!

Hey if the hair was longer the nose smaller and the tum slimmer I'd say it was the spitting image of me tee hee.

The female face seems to represent such a subtle change in the anatomy of a carving.
You brought it off, Gary. Nice work and a deft hand.
Caricature and spoons are just 2 of a dozen different styles of wood caring.
