Sculptor's comments/Job details

"This job was conceived as a pre-need item, referencing a job carved many years earlier for a predeceased family member of this customer through the same dealer. While certain details were slightly modified by the sculptor with customer permission, the overall motif is fully retained- including all dimensions and layout.

"Judicious development of traditional detailing has produced a memorial likely to appear to be the inspirational, and not the inspired, job. The customer was thrilled to see hand-axed detail demonstrating gracefully flowing individual strands of hair and feathers bent by the passing breeze.

"This job was fully hand carved using chisels with no sandblasting, shape carving or die/diamond grinding. Like this one, many of the jobs I produce are carved via direct methods, referencing only photographs and dealer-provided measurements of existing sculpture, without the added expense of a job-specific model. Such jobs can be subtly adapted and customized, creating a monument or memorial personalized to satisfy your needs."
