This is from the same piece of wood as the Albatross, a ~150 year old window sill.

A few more of the Albatross. These are reflections on a black glass table.

Red Cedar post whale. This was a bit of a sea trial of a carving I've been thinking about for a while. An old deck hand rail post with a whale diving back into it, I'm sure there would be some deep arty metaphor you could make with that.

A few snaps of a little Kauri Humpback whale I've been working on, I'm happy with the rough shape so now on to details and finishing.

This is carved from a piece of Kauri which came out of a villa that was built in the 1800s, It's pretty cool to think that people have looked out that window for nearly 150 years without ever knowing that this whale was hiding inside the window sill.

The mighty Orca, Carved from the humble Macrocarpa tree.

He's a work in progress in these shots, But I really like the way the shadow lines stand out, Without the oil finish.
