I tend to carve a lot of humpback whales as they are the most charismatic of the large whales.  However, the status of the North Atlantic Right Whale as one of the most endangered whales species, makes them an important subject matter.  Given that the Right whale is more “serious” than the humpback, I chose a grey paint for the driftwood he is mounted – a grey close to the colour of right whales.  The drift wood base is a piece of lobster trap.  Ironic, as an estimated 85% of  the current population of right whales has experienced an entanglement with fishing gear. 14” x 4” , the whale is 5” long.

I design and carve all of my jewelry and sculpture in my studio/ workshop located in Brackley Beach, Prince Edward Island. I use locally sourced beef bone, which I clean and whiten in a multi stage process that takes about 10 days.    Once carved, each piece is sanded and buffed to  highly polished finish.
