This is a carving that I did for a client after he cut down his Honey Locust tree. I think this tree might have been harder then the maple that I carved a month earlier. The carving was completed in October of 2009. The wolf was supposed to look a little mystical with its fluid motion and is coming out of a spearhead that is embedded in the rock below. On top of the spearhead is a full moon. We left it natural, but I think that the different color grain gives it a look that makes it seem out of balance. We will probably paint it in the Spring.
Well, I did not like the way this aged, so I carved an Indian bust with a full headdress. I will show photos of that soon. Completed on 8/22/2013
