Welcome to The "New Whooos" Club. Perhaps you didn't even know you were a member, but I do have certain customers (and friends) who would like to know, immediately, when I am ready to add new owls to my Web site.
Just let me know if you don't wish to be a member. No harm will come to you. Now, you can click on the owls to see the larger images, BUT you will have to use your browser's BACK button to return to this page. If you tire of looking here, you can go to my Web site by clicking on the images further down the page. I have added banners at the top of each section so you will know where to find these particular owls when they end up on my Web site.* Of course, you are under no obligation to buy anything, but you do have first crack at them, and I will put them aside for as long as you wish—up to one year, anyway. I will add these owls to my Web site on April 21st, so take a sneak peek now. There will be a few more added here soon, I hope. *NOTE: I will have my two entries for "Birds in Art" up here very soon. They might not make the exhibition this year, but I am very happy with both of them. I will notify you when they are here.

SOAPSTONE #1
|
WOW! A large piece of mauve, dendritic soapstone. It is always a surprise to come across this color, as I find iti infrequently in my soapstone collection (about 2 tons). You need to look at the larger photos to see the expression on its face and the carved out area between the body and the tail. It is carved all around. The owl itself is 4.5" high, 3.25" wide, and 3.25" deep and is mounted on an oak base 3" square and 2" high. Price: $750.00 |

As mentioned above, I seem to come across this mauve color less frequently than I did in the past. It is actually manganese, the same thing that causes the mossy pattern on so many of my pieces, that creates this color. I enjoyed bringing the little owl out of this piece of stone. Its wing hangs down over the front of a triangular piece of oak. The owl is about 3 " high, 3 " wide, and 2.5" deep. It is carved all around and the oak base is 4.5" long x 2" wide at the widest point, and 1" high. Price: $295.00 |

There is an owl among those dendrites and she coyly peeks out from behind a wing. The larger photos show the image much better. The back is smooth and the owl is 3" high x 3" wide, and 1.75" deep. The oak base is 3" x 2" x 1". Price: $195.00 |

SOAPSTONE #11 click owl for larger images

An abstraction of a barn owl and a pretty piece of stone made a nice combination. The owl has a lot of character and is 3.25" high, 3" wide and 1.75" deep. The back is smooth and polished. The dark mahogany base is 3" x 2" x 1" high. Price: $175.00 |

Hurrah! An owl of a different color! I am not certain where this soapstone came from so I will leave it at that. It is not as fine a texture at the Montana stone, but I managed to carve this simple little owl. It photographed beautifully, in my opinion. The owl is 2.5" high, 2.75" wide, and 1" deep. The oak base is 3" x 2" x 1" high Price: $125.00  Depoe Bay, Oregon |

The coloring of this owl is really nice. I only wish the owl were much larger. Can you spot the areas containing iron? For me, they seem hard to miss. It stands 1.75" high, 1.75" wide, and a little more than 1" deep. The back is smooth and polished.ri125.00 Price: $65.00

It looks so large, here, but it is only 2.75" high, 2" wide, and 1" deep. The full face seems to be looking at some tasty creature, but its appetite is already satiated. Note the tiny spot of iron (orangish) about in the middle of the owl at the edge of the wing. The owl is mounted on an oak base, 1.5" square and .5" high and the back is smooth and polished. Price: $135.00 |

SOAPSTONE #25 click owl for larger images

This owl is carved all around and strikes a very strong pose. Dendrites, the fine pattern on the bird, come and go as one carves, but they ended up in a nice pattern on this piece. The owl is about 3" high, 3.75" wide, and 3.5" deep. It is mounted on a dark-stained oak base that is 2.5" square and 1" high. Price: $375.00

SOAPSTONE #27
|
A wing over one eye makes this a signature piece, but this little owl has nice detail, dendrites, and swirls to give it a lot of character. The owl is 2.25" high, 2" wide, and 1.75" deep and is mounted on an oak base, 1.5" square and .5" high. Price: $125.00 |
|
SOAPSTONE #29 click owl for larger images

It is small and skinny but this owl strikes a strong pose just the same. Obviously, there is a nice smattering of dendrites that only seem to add to its character. The owl is 2.25" high, 1.5" wide, and over 1.5" deep. The base is oak and 1.5" square and .5" high. Price: $95.00

SOAPSTONE #14F |
The owl remains a bit mystical with that large wing over one eye. He has a rather quizzical look but, at the same time, a "don't mess with me" attitude. Nice dendrites and subtle coloring make him a charmer. He is 3" high, 3.5" wide and 2.75" deep. The base is oak and 3" square and 2" high. He definitely has attitude and is carved all the way around. Price: $375.00 |

This owl is a nice example of Montana dendritic soapstone and the curved wing adds movement to the piece. It is 2.5" high, 4" wide, and 2" deep. It is mounted on an oak base which is 2" square and 1" high. The owl is 2.25" high, 2" wide, and 1.75" deep. The back of the owl is smooth and polished. Price: $145.00

A fine example of dendritic soapstone produced a very angular owl. The owl is 2.75" high, 2" wide and 1" high. The dark stained oak base is 2" square x 1" high. The back of the owl is smooth and polished. Price: $150.00 |
SOAPSTONE #27F click owl for larger images

This owl is a nice example of Montana dendritic soapstone and the extended wing certainly makes the owl a bit different. It is 2.5" high, 4" wide, and 2" deep. It is mounted on an oak base which is 4.25" wide x 2" x 1" high. The back of the owl is smooth and polished.

No matter which way you look at this owl, you have to notice the angular shape. This is a "no nonsense" owl, I think. But its rather stern expression is outweighed by the beauty of the dendritic soapstone. Standing on a dark-stained oak base, the back of the owl is smooth and polished. The owl is 4.25" high on the 2.5" square x 1" oak base. Price: $225.00 |

SOAPSTONE #4C click owl for larger images |
Another triangular block of oak seems to be a perfect perch for this owl. Abstract, yes, but still recognizable as an owl, this one was fun to carve. The owl is 3.25" x 3" wide x 1" deep and sitting on its oak base, 4.5" x 2" x 1" high. Price: $195.00 |

Another nice piece of mauve, there are a still a few dendrites here and there. The owl is 3.75" tall, 3" wide, and 2" deep and is mounted on a cherry base that is 3" x 2" x 1". The back of the owl is smooth and polished. Price: $195.00 |

Talk about large eyes, this owl has them. But only one of them shows. This owl is not carved all the way around, but it comes from a nice piece of soapstone with nice dendrites.
