Cutthroat Carving

That is awesome. At first I was thinking it was a pretty small carving, but after seeing all of the photos I am really impressed. I love the scale of it. Makes its presence known. Really nice touch on the hanging presentation.

Very nice carving

That’s a beauty!! You did your part, hope the painter does it justice…...................

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

if the painter does as good a job as the carver… people will think its real!

nice job… immediately recognizable as a cutthroat…

I’m not even sure if it needs painted… like, if you want true color, catch one and stuff it. Although a good artist may change my opinion….

so, either way… very well done…

That’s a good-looking fish. I like the idea of hanging it, too. How large is it? I’m not familiar with a cutthroat here in the midwest. We have rainbow, lake, brook, brown, and river trout, but not cutthroat. I think my husband’s fish carvngs are much smaller.

Thanks for posting.

wow! that’s pretty impressive!
can’t wait to see it after the paint job.

Where did you get the eyes? My daughter saw the images of this fish and she thinks its beautiful and wants to know how you get the eyes to look so real.

A beautiful fish carving. It’s nice to see without paint on it.

If it were mine, I’d give it a clear finish, then people would know it was wood.

After a carving is painted, who knows what its made of?

I’m a wood lover.

Your carving skills are very good and that is a beautiful fish.

That’s a beautiful carving, you have some serious talent. I really like this piece.
