Preening Northern Pintail
This intricate wooden sculpture was inspired by the award winning piece done by Pat Godin. It has innumerable individual inserted feathers. Each one carved, textured and painted before being added to the piece. It was months in the making. It is carved of tupelo and holly and painted in acrylics. It is available for purchase.
Butternut Pintail
This fine wood carving combines the beauty of the Pintail and the fine grain natural beauty of butternut wood. Its oil finish enhances the glow of the wood. It is in a private collection.
