I LOVE figure heads, I like the naive quality of their carving and design, I like the philosophy and story of them, I would love to make one.

I will share some that I found on Flickr, and I will endeavour to get to Edinburgh soon as I'm sure I have seen a population of them on a house in Leith, what do you call a gathering of Figure Heads?
