That is a totally awesome carving and I'd love to know more about it. I suggest you take some detailed photos and make it an IotD. That often flushes out esoteric knowledge from the lurkers out there.

I also am willing to be the one to tell you to get that thing inside. Not just for the weather, but also to prevent teenagers from pinching it. C'mon, that thing would be cool in the gang hang-out. Mind you I am a little worried that we have all been cursed now that we have laid eyes upon it.
