Hand Carved 3 BLACK CRAPPIES Wall Art Wood Carving chainsaw Papermouth Crappie

Description: "Crappie Trio"I created this piece by carving the crappies individually and burning each individual scale and body marking by hand and then gluing the crappies with pieces of wood behind them so they stand out from the main driftwood piece to give a more 3D affect. I also reinforced the back of the branches with embedded steel rods to increase the strength. Clint Wickman Original Wall Art © Copyright 2024 This piece is 41" long x 11 1/2" high. Process: This is an original relief wood carving that I designed and carved in my studio. I carved everything by hand with power tools from one piece of kiln dried Pine wood. On this carving, I burned most of the coloring and shading, and then hand painted greens/yellows on the fish, and reddish brown on the underwater branches with my own custom mixed stains. The back of the carving is flat for wall mounting, and I carved a recessed flush mount hanger for a nail or screw head. I also hand signed my signature and year on the back. Preservation: After burning all of the details, the wood is sealed, and then I hand paint stains, brushed on a coat of exterior grade U.V. resistant Spar Urethane, and finally top coated with another coat of Semi-gloss Spar urethane to give a more shiny underwater look. This wood carving is however intended for indoor use. If you want to place it outdoors, I recommend brushing on a few more coats of Spar Urethane/Varnish. Shipping: All of my carvings are very well packed, and shipped fully insured for the rare chance of loss or damage. I have been shipping carvings for the past 22 years, and 99% have arrived in perfect condition.
