This is a carving I did for my dad about 10 years ago now; it’s a Blacktip Reef Shark carved out of spalted Pecan that used to live in my brother-in-law’s place before a major storm, and it sits on a large hunk of Texas Ebony that my dad found for me. The shark is about a foot and a half long. -- No matter where you go, there you are!

Excellent proportions on the shark, and the base compliments your work well.

I am very “taken” by your shark.
About 10 years ago I saw something very similar in an art gallery in St. Augustine, FL. It was done in Cherry and was about 18-20” long.
That encounter was the spark that got me into woodcarving: Suddenly I thought: “I ought to be able to do that”. And I have been carving ever since.

scrimman very beautiful piece. That Texas ebony can take a toll on your carving chisels. I have broke a few but the wood is so beautiful its well worth it!!!!! Nice contrast In woods.
