The Giant's Head
This piece is carved from a root of a cotton wood tree and is 30" tall x 18" wide x 10" deep.
I enjoyed gazing at this piece in my garage for a few years until I showed it at the Nordic Festival Art Show in Decorah, IA in summer of 2006. It found new owners at this show by the name of Kevin and Shawn Thompson.
It was a really fun piece to create because a lot of what is there had already presented itself in the piece before I carved it. Sort of a ready-made piece in a way. Yet, some carving was required for the final look and the burning really added a little more detail. I hope the Thompson's are still enjoying this piece.
