Decided to put one of my carvings up for sale here. Carved this in 2022. I've enjoyed seeing it on shelf here, but it's time for it to find a new home. The vacant space will demand I find another log to whittle on to fill the void. The wood is mesquite, with an oil finish. It's a little over 17" tall, 9" wide and 7" deep at the base, getting thinner at the top as it was wedge cut from the log. Leans back a few degrees. Does weigh a few pounds as mesquite is a fairly dense hardwood. Deep relief with a touch of pyrography. Really like how the oil brings out the detail & grain. $1400 shipped in CONUS. If outside that area, we can see what is involved & the cost.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark

Hello, I have giraffe leg bones similarly carved as well as elephant tusks which came out of the Congo in the mid-sixties
