I made this wood sculpture for man in Anchor Point.  He’s a big whale lover and when he drove by all the sea life wood sculptures at my place.

He wanted a large whale so I proposed an Orca wood sculpture.  He liked the idea and I spent three days making the carving. It was 7 ft tall.

He really loved it.  I am curious to know where he put it.  I don’t know if he put the Orca carving in her front yard, house, or back deck.

I do know he told all friends about it and one of them ordered a smaller whale from me.

I love carving whales.  They are my favorate for some reason.  It was one of the first  Orca wood sculptures I carved.

A while back I got a call from the mayor of Whittier, Ak, this little but popular tourist town in SE Alaska.  A 500 year olf tree had landed on the beach and he wanted me to turn it into something for the city.  I could keep what I didn’t use.

Hum????  Oh yeah, and all I would be paid is the extra wood I didn’t use, and a lot of exposure.  Hum????

So I thought it over and said yes.  Why not, I thought, its not everyday you get to carve a sculpture from a 500+ year old log.

So I spent days working on this carving.  I sanded it, painted it, and came up with the picture you see on this post.  It turned out to be 9 foot tall and they placed it near the Small Boat Harbor.

Oh yeah, they gave me this small bronze plaque thanking me for my efforts.  I hung it up in my office.  Makes me feel nice every morning.
