#2I've seen several bas-relief tables that were quite effective in their rendering of the animal form. This ham-handed example is not. Maker didn't understand both the animal and the table surface as water. Worthless as a table as well.

The river tables were innovative - about ten years ago. They 'jumped the shark' about five years ago after having been overdone by the thousands.
Interestingly, I was talking to a resin vendor at a Hartville Hardware open house six or seven years ago. He said he'd jumped on the river table bandwagon early, but demand for the resin was already waning, and he figured resin supply would exceed demand within another year or so. Turns out he was right.

#4Well, I can't call the carving excellent by any stretch, but that's not really what is important. It's a hobby, if the carver had fun doing it, that is what matters. While I don't much care for river tables either, if someone enjoys making them who am I to rain on their parade?

#5In the realm of "See, I made this Big Thing" hobbyist work, this item displays a sincere effort by an untrained maker to replicate an existing piece they've seen somewhere. Google "alligator table" to see examples.
