SHAMAN
VIII
This material is so beautiful
and rare that I'm not planing on selling it at this point in time.
(Unless, of course, I'm made an offer I can't refuse!)

MUSHROOM
PANELS
Several of the dozens of combinations under consideration.
Layout of the various pieces.
|
Individual pieces after trim saw.
|
Shaping the outline of individual pieces.
|
Shaping the final figures then moving on to the polish stage.
|
The tallest figure is 3-1/2+"
|
Some of the mushrooms are single
pieces whereas others have a separate crown and stem.
The question is: How many and which figures should go on an individual
panel?

SHAMAN
PANEL
This
piece is a representation of an archaic pictograph panel (The Shaman
Panel) found on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon

|
MUSHROOMS
Four identical slabs from one block of material
has been transformed into four Mushroom figures.
|
The two butt ends from the block used to create these figures
did not sit well in a frame, so this was addressed by filling
the backs in with the super-epoxy Hxtal.
The epoxy was tinted black for a more pleasing look.

|
Cutting the "stem" out of a beautiful piece of red gembone.
|
Do I mount them individually or together?

SHAMANS VII & VIII

THE
FLAME
This is an older version of "The Flame".
|
My latest iterations will be mounted on a brass rod for
display.
I can carve left-hand, right-hand, 3-sided, 4-sided, or a
combination of
convex/concave shaping on each side.
The finished size will be ≈ 2-1/4" tall by ≈ 1-1/4" across
the widest face.
