Beaver    This piece has taken the most amount of time for my imagination to create a scene. Almost 8 years I had this section of mule deer antler and never once could I make anything of it. One day while working on another carving I laid it down beside my workstation as you see it here in the photo and the scene became so vivid. The stump behind the beaver is what gave it away. I could make out the roots of the stump and envisioned the top of the stump being chewed in a pattern the way a beaver would cut it. I saw the other tine of the antler as a leaning tree and began the task of forming the beaver in the base of the leaning tree as though chewing it for it’s lodge somewhere on the lake.  Dimensions: Antler 7 12" x 10 5/8 x 5 1/4"  Back
