Fish carvings

Project by lightweightladyleftie posted 509 days ago 427 views 0 times favorited 9 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Here are two fish carvings which my husband carved and painted as gifts a few years ago. The largemouth bass is carved from bass and mounted on a piece of rustic oak (along with a tiny bass which he also carved and painted). The pumpkinseed is carved from bass also, but mounted in front of a piece of driftwood. (The pumpkinseed is actually somewhat larger than those of like species that we catch around here.)

these are great pieces and I love the natural display rather than it just being a fish on the wall. Awesome job
