Here are some more information for Carved Wood Sculpture:
The art movement, Cubism, began in 1908 and strongly influenced art and sculpture in the early 20C.
Cubism dissected painted images, then reassembled them as abstract forms. Cubism showed images which could be seen from all angles. Subjects were painted in cube form, hence the name, Cubism.
French painters, Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso were foremost in introducing the movement. They worked closely until 1914. By 1910 cubism had become popular and was known as the"Cubist School."
Other art movements began and new trends developed.
'Analytical cubism' displayed surfaces closely patterned with incomplete lines, which played the forms against one another. Often the works were painted in the same tone, making it difficult to identify images. Artists left clues, such as a pipe suggested someone smoking; also alphabetic letters, a newspaper or a bottle of wine.
In 1912 "synthetic cubism" emerged. Small objects were painted over then stuck onto the canvas, and superimposed one over another. Brighter colours replaced the dark, monochromatic scales which were hard to decipher.
Paper replaced paint and was pasted onto canvas forming an image. Patches cut from newspaper, presented images. Paper with woodprint, advertisements, were more colorful. Sand textured canvasses worked with graphite or charcoal forming shadows.

[Not for publication: 'woodprint' or 'woodcuts' were images carved out of wood and pressed onto paper to make an image.
The names Pablo Picasso(Spanish) and Georges Braque(French) are the proper names of the two artists who were involved in Cubism.]
Margaret Houghton graduated in Fine Art from the Western Australian Institute of Technology in 1982 , majoring in painting. She prefers acrylics to oil paints. Recently, she turned her attention to screenwriting which is a very long stride.
About Wood Carving Art
The art of wood carving is an art that forms a picture or motif on the wood object by forming cavity in the object. As the result, a picture or motif that is created is formed from the cavities. Then, this cavity is known as relief.
The motif of this relief brings unique themes, such as animals, plants or humans. There are even some themes that imitate the indentation style of beautiful embers, the cosmos or many other themes. The determination of this theme depends entirely on a sculptor. The equipment required to form a sculptural artwork is quite simple, like saws, planers, hammers and chisels.
It was mentioned that the first sculpture was the result of the culture or traditions of Malayan. Art was estimated to have been developed since 500 years ago.

The 2ND bird has the following inked on the bottom-side: "Nassau, Rufus, 1983" It is 30" Tall & is a bit thicker in dimension- Also, very detailed & quite magnificent looking. It weighs in at about 18lbs.
I'm interested in selling them, but know nothing about their back-ground? Any idea's or suggestions?
I especially would like to know what type of wood is indigeous to the Bahama's to create such beautiful renderings. All input & feedback appreciated! Thanks!
The wood indigenous to the Bahamas that is often used for carvings is called gumbo-limbo, and native pine is also used sometimes.
This is an example of carved gumbo-limbo: http://www.roatanisland.net/artists.htm
