Default what is it?

It's a growth that was on an oak tree next to where a limb has been broken off--it's woody but was probably caused by a fungus. It looks like a snail so I dressed it up a little more with the eyes on stems (pop rivet nails)--smoothing and linseed oiling the surface and giving it a smiley mouth. The figured grain is really nice.
