Piper - Sugar Maple - 44.5 x 15.5 x 11.5 inches - December 23, 2006 - March 9, 2007 - 179 hours
As with most of my figurative studies, the carving of Piper proceeded without any prior plan. Sometimes the outcome of such a process is achieved within a reasonable time frame and sometimes it requires more time than is apt to be compensated by a fair hourly wage. I make an effort to keep up with my carving time and base my initial asking price on the amount of time expended in making an item. Often, however, I eventually let things go at a price lower than fair hourly compensation, just to make room for newer things. My number of carvings on hand are low right now, so this particular item will not be sold at a give away price any time soon.
