"Trout Stream"

The trout, river rocks, and driftwood are all carved out of one piece of wood. The Trout is a very beautiful fish, with many variations in the colors and markings from species to species. I wanted to creatively capture the essence of their beauty by hand painting my own interpretation of a combination of colors and markings from Brown, Rainbow, and other species of trout. This, along with beautiful different colored rocks really make this unique piece stand out on your wall.

Process:

This is an original relief wood carving that I designed and carved in my studio. I carved everything by hand with power tools from one piece of kiln dried Pine wood.

On this carving, all of the coloring and shading is burned on by hand. No paint or stain was used.

The back of the carving is flat for wall mounting, and I carve a recessed flush mount hanger for a nail or screw head. I also hand engrave my signature and the year made on the back of each carving.

Preservation:

This carving has 4 coats of quality finish. First, the wood is sealed with shellac, and then I brushed on 3 coats of exterior grade U.V. resistant Spar Urethane with the top two coats having a "semi-gloss" sheen to give it a shinier wet underwater look. This wood carving is however intended for indoor use. If you want to place it outdoors, I recommend brushing on a few more coats of Spar Urethane/Varnish.

All of my carvings are very well packed, and shipped fully insured for the rare chance of loss or damage. I have been shipping carvings for the past 23 years, and 99% have arrived in perfect condition.
