Here is a picture of my charicature carving of a farmer offering to
sell his duck!  The carving is mounted to an oak base.  The farmer and
the duck is carved out of basswood and painted with a thin acrylic
wash.

The
hands and the head are done seperately and then added.  The benefits of
this are that the hands and duck will not get in the way of carving the
detail of the body.  In addition, the neck and head actually give the
lifelike impression of the neck being inside the shirt with air around
the two.  It is much easier to give this effect doing the carving this
way than to try to carve an remove the wood.  More pictures can be seen
