Each bird is a different species throughout the entire set. The birds are all carved by Bob. He also created the black and white stained glass "board". He likes to try different mediums. This set was quite the undertaking and pictures do not do it justice!

The Birds in the bird cages are the Bishops. They have the traditional Bishop top. The birds on the carrousel horses are the Knights I believe.

Bob did many many pieces like these. There is no paint or colored stains on the photographer. Bob did all the "color" variation by using different woods. Again, pictures do not do these pieces justice. If a character had a beard, each sliver of wood that comprised it, was placed by hand.

A friend of Bob's drew the character, Bob produced him and created a ring toss. I thought this as pretty cute.

Original RR Station used by Wausau Insurance Co. Was going to be torn down but was saved by a citizens group that my sil was part of. It was so cool that a train happened to come just as I was aiming to shoot!
