Cutthroat Carving

Project by rainman posted 43 days ago 449 views 0 times favorited 12 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is my first attempt at carving something other than folkart. My nephew Ken wanted a fish to hang so I decided to carve one from his area, the Yellowstone Cutthroat. I can’t paint well enough so Ken will have a friend in Montana do it for him. Hopefully he’ll send me a picture when its done so I can post it for you.

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.

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.

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.
