Wildlife In Wood

NEW December 2012! Osprey carved from Birch. This is a commissioned piece.	Osprey are large fish-eating raptors common in the Northwoods of Wisconsin.  Reaching 24 inches in length with a 6-foot wing span, the osprey can tolerate a large variety of habitats and will nest near bodies of water that provide adequate food supplies.  Osprey can easily be identified by their unique wing shape, featuring a distinct kink at the elbow when they fly.  Their hunting stance of hovering above the water, followed by their head-first plunge as they stalk the fish, is also a breath-taking sight. This newest piece was carved from birch and was completed in early December 2012. It features an adult perched Osprey ready to take flight. NEW December 2012! Close-up of Osprey carved from Birch.
This Osprey carving was sold at the June 2009 Walk in the Woods art fair.	NEW. Close-up view of Butternut carving. Sold at Walk in the Woods art fair, June 2009.
