It is a burl table, Gorwingel. My pastor moved to a smaller home, and asked if I wanted it. When I saw Sam and Bill at Sideshow Toys, I knew just where I would put it It reminded me of Sam and Bill being in a forest. Since that pic was taken, Sideshow's Frodo now stands beside Sam.
I agree totally about how they look, too. Their detail is amazing.
And, that's not a mirror behind them--that's the box they came in--which is practically a peice of art in itself. I couldn't just throw it out.
