I have been working on a few projects of my own and since John posted his wildlife sign photos, I thought I would share mine. I have been getting a little more serious lately and hope to be taking a few items to a local consignment shop to get my work out there. Also working on a website. Will probably never be as BIG as John and his Polish Eagles though..
I really like doing these 'fish' paddles and may expand them to other wildlife scenes as well. Despite John's lack luster performance last summer trying to sell some of the earlier designs, I thought I would try as I do live in 'Lakes Country', with more than 400 lakes within 25 miles of my home. I think John probably kept all the paddles he made hidden behind the Polish Eagles.
Thanks to Scott for some of the fish models and all the inspiration. Like John, I will never be a painter, so will just have to work on my finish techniques.
Excellent stuff, Dave. I especially like the paddle. Maybe you could also make one with the carving rotated, so the paddle could hang above a door for instance.
