Humpback Whale
|
 |
I was given this shed antler from a friend's father. While out on his snowmobile, he ran into something and found out that what he hit, was in fact, a recently shed moose antler. A lot of ideas went through my mind before I was sure the carving would become what it has. A fresh antler like this one offers an almost unbearable smell when large cuts were made. A substantial amount of time has gone into creating and preparing the base. Two pieces of wood,3/4" oak and 15/8" walnut, were selected under the scrutiny of Images in Wood. The thickness provided mass for the base that represents the size of whales. The oak, stained blue represents the water that is enhanced by the waving cut and routered edge that was placed across the front of the base. The 3/8" clear acrylic shape of a whale was added to give viewers the feeling of a whale's graceful and majestic glide in water. |
