The Real Deal in Fish Carving
Posted By Kent Klewein on January 18, 2010
On the slab of Bubinga (Ghana Africa)…there are 11 fish, over 100 cattails/reeds, two dragon flys, and one frog all carved out of exotic woods. The woods used in this piece are Koa wood (Hawaii), Lace wood (Queensland Australia), Bocote wood (Amazon Region), Tigerwood (Southern Brazil), Peruvian Rosewood (Brazil), Black Walnut (North America), and Bubinga (Ghana Africa). The piece weighs over 2000 lbs!!! I drove it in a cargo trailer from my house to the store…it took 14 guys to lift it in and out of the trailer and then we had a forklift, lift it into place while we all stood on schafling holding it while it was being secured….talk about tough!!!!! So I’m really happy that that is now done!!!!
