Douglas Squirrel wood carving

Description

The Douglas squirrel lives in the Pacific coastal areas of North America. It's also known as a Chickaree, but that name is also used for a Red Squirrel. One Native American name for it is "Pillillooeet" in imitation of it's alarm call. This carving is 8.5 x 11.5 x 2 cm (3 x 4.5 x 1 inch).

I use knives and chisels, not a power carver, to finish shaping the basswood. This technique gives crisper details. It is sanded smooth, and an airbrush or watercolor brush used to apply water-based inks, with some details being burned In. It is finished with 3 coats of water-based urethane, and signed and dated on the bottom.

Within the one inch thickness, using carving and painting techniques, I suggest a more fully round figure. It is a unique style, which I have developed over more than 30 years.

Though I use non-toxic materials, it is not designed as a toy for children.

Thanks for looking! I hope you enjoy this sculpture which is entirely designed and created by myself.
