Seahawk by Randy Anderson, Peoria, Ariz. Randy Anderson wanted his sculpture to soar. “Each feather is hand-shaped for its particular position in the design. More than just simply rounding the sides, I attempted to cut each feather into more of a three-dimensional shape,” he said. “I wanted the Seahawk to appear that it was flying off the wall.” Randy incorporated something special into the materials as well by using Mount St. Helen’s maple. “Mount St. Helen’s maple is from trees that pulled some of the [volcanic] ash into their grain when they started recovering from the volcano,” Randy explained. He inlaid the maple with walnut to add detail to the feathers. He also used oak, African paduk, and pine in the project. |
3-D Intarsia Fish by Bill Warren, Anchorage, Alaska “I have enjoyed intarsia for several years now,” said Bill Warren. “I also enjoy fly-fishing and admire carved fish.” Bill created his 3-D Intarsia Fish by making two identical fish bodies from maple and two shades of western red cedar and gluing them together. “During the shaping, there was enough curve to the fish that one side of the blank tapered out and the other side showed through,” he noted. After making the blank, Bill shaped the body, added fins, and made rocks out of scrap wood.The editors enjoyed the smooth fit of the pieces in Bill’s sculpture, as well as the sculpted curve of the fish’s body and the use of grain to evoke scales. |
