Amazing New Carvings

We have been busy creating new carved sculptures for our upcoming summer shows. This weekend is Art on the Rockies in Edwards (Vail) Co. Scott has really outdone himself with these new pieces. Here are just a few of those.

“STITCH OF GOLD” was carved from a Eucalyptus log and features gold jewelers wire in a crisscross pattern, stitched through the piece in a few places.

“GONDOLA” was also carved from a Eucalyptus log into this boat shaped vessel with turquoise inlay.

“STRIKE 3” is three tunnels carved into a Mesquite log with the outside textured.

“SUNRISE CANYON” is a Eucalyptus canyon shaped vessel that has slight waves carved into it and turquoise inlay.

“COSMOS” is a tunnel design carved out of Eucalyptus with Red Opal inlay, gold leafing and texturing.

“FLOURISHING” is an incredible sculpture. The wood is Alligator Juniper Burl that is approximately 700 years old. The design resembles a large flower with two small buds. It has waves and folds carved into it, along with Chrysocolla inlay. The base is black granite with carved peach alabaster.

“OLD SOUL” is one of those sculptures that only comes around once. It was carved from an approximately 900 year old Alligator Juniper. The size of the burl is a rare find. Several tunnels were carved into it that join in the middle. It features waves and folds at the openings and much of the natural aspects of the burl were left in place adding to the beauty.
