"Саласпилс"
"SALISPILS"
presented by Fedor Ballakh This carving was sent from St. Petersburg, Russia.
it is 17x63x23 cm in size. Fedor dedicated this to the children of
the Salaspils concentration camp where during WWII the children were
used as donors for the treatment of the soldiers. The children's
souls are like butterflies, clear and spotless, and when they die they
just fly away to heaven.
(Although difficult to see at this level, the side view shows many
children's bodies floating upward.) ballakh2f@gmail.com |

"MISSING LUNCH"
presented by J.J. Lynes This carving was commissioned for a cabin in Wisconsin. The carver cut Wisconsin White Pine into planks, planed it, laminated, and glued it in order to carve this large bear. The system used created a lighter form for this large carving. It is life size and hangs attached to an overhanging hemlock log. Unfortunately, the bear missed both swipes at the fish with his paws.
