I have a mate that is a wicked carver and some of his work is exceptional. This fish was carved out of Totara from memory and is not yet finished Work in progress He asked me to post a photo and ask what the general public thought .He calls himself an artist that loves fishing i think its just TALENTED and what a lifestyle .How many of us look around the shops looking for fishy things I DO . If any of you guys have any ideas of what you would like this is your man he carves to order. The BLUE HEELER is not a small dog . Like i say this is not finished ,it is still awaiting a pek fin and more detail and about 10 coats of oil. ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fans-Of-Synit-Rods/137662896327800 |

Moocha that carving has been carved to order so is not for sale sorry but still i will post a photo of it finished . The 1st carving he did for me was my TANGAROA ,at 1st i wanted a plaque carved you kno like a tag at the bottom of a Mount but this is what he came up with. Dont laugh but he has graced us for Kaimoana on occasions {and im not religious} just superstitous. ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fans-Of-Synit-Rods/137662896327800 |
