The three "postcards" below the snapper are for sale at $10 each at the ARTrails gala on 20 September; proceeds go to an art scholarship.  All four items are drying in the sun in this picture;  July may have been my most prolific month ever. 

My friend gave me the White Cedar; his wife saw what I was doing and said she wanted a salmon for him;  I gave it to him on 21 July as a gift in return for the cedar, burls and wooden bird parts he didn't want anymore; 27x11x2 inches. 

This is the first Ling Cod by me and the purchased third of the fish commissioned; I decided to do a cod because I liked their fins and offered it to the buyer in place of a snapper if he liked; he did for another $300.  The three are to be hung as a group on a wall. 

This and my original snapper were the ones purchased at $300 each. 

I had a commission to build three red snappers after my first one was made; the grain and lines were of great interest to the buyer:  white cedar, hematite and abalone;  I still have this one; he took two others and a ling cod. 

A friend gave me a nicely shaped walnut burl for the breast of this bird; head is pine and feet are alder; eye is abalone; 9"high and wide, 13"long.  Notice booby feet have the back toe coming forward to act as a 4th front toe. 

White cedar, eyes of hematite and abalone; 17"long, 9"high, 2 1/2" depth; My friend had some white cedar he didn't want and it makes superb, striped fish for the wall. 

White cedar, yellow cedar feet and abalone eyes; 22"high by 10"w, 13" in depth; received one of those requests for money that had a note pad with a blue footed

My friend Mark gave me some white cedar; raven and some buddies showed up; 19" long, 7" wide, 9" high.
