Cougar Study This was the precursor to "No Lap Cat", where I was figuring out how god put a cougar together. The picture doesn't do it justice: it's actually uglier. I put it here because I've always believed there is no such a thing as a useless carving. If it hadn't been for this one, I'dve never been able to make "No Lap Cat". The wood is Monkeypod, and it's finished in polyurethane.
