Carved from a fallen root of cotton wood tree, this piece is 14" tall x 20" wide x 38" deep.

Similar ideas from previous pieces were used on this piece.  It took a while but I eventually saw the lizard shape in this inanimate piece of wood.  After that initial contact was made, the carving came pretty easily.  When the carving was finished I added the texture of the skin by holding the piece over a campfire.  And finally, after the burning was done, I carved into the burning a little bit more to add the simple pattern on the creatures back.  This piece has not been sold and is displayed standing on sturdy on its own feet.  Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this piece.
