SOAPSTONE #1F
|
SOAPSTONE #1F Carved from a beautiful piece of dendritic soapstone, this owl would love to sit around your home or office to keep an eye on things. As you can see, it is looking up, so a lower perch would be best. A photograph with me working on this owl can be found in the article about me in the Arts section of The Wisconsin State Journal, February 26, 2006. It is carved all the way around and is 8" high on a 4" x 4" x 4" oak base. |

It is mounted on a dark-stained cherry base that is a 2" cube.

SOAPSTONE #4F click owl for larger images

SOAPSTONE #4F The flat areas on this owl intrigued me, and I hope you like the way it came out of the stone. It has a rather "sweet" face, if there is such a thing for an owl. The dendrites make it an interesting carving. The owl is 3" high and carved all the way around. The entire piece is 4" high with its dark-stained oak base, 3" x 2" x 1" Price: $175.00

SOAPSTONE #7F
|
SOAPSTONE #7F Obviously, there are a lot of dendrites on this owl. I have no control over that, as the dendrites come and go as one carves, and I never know where they will end up on a piece. The sculpture is a bit over 4" high and 2 "wide and deep. It sits on a cherry base, 2" x 2" x 1 " high, and peers out from behind a wing.
Price: $150.00 |

|
SOAPSTONE #9F click owl for larger images

SOAPSTONE #9F From a very nice piece of Montana dendritic soapstone, this owl barely found a place to roost. The sculpture sort of "overflows" the base, as the larger photos illustrate. The owl is about 2.25" high and 4" long and 3" deep. It sits on a cherry base, 3" x 2" x 2 " high, and peers out from behind a wing. Price: $295.00

SOAPSTONE #13F click owl for larger images

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 |
SOAPSTONE #15F click owl for larger images |
SOAPSTONE #15F This owl has nice coloration and dendrites. Its back is smooth and polished back and the owl is about 4.25" wide, 2.25 deep, and a little more than 2.5" high.

SOAPSTONE #16F click owl for larger images |
SOAPSTONE #16F Every once in a while I end up with a weird owl. This one can't get much lower to the ground. Did you ever put your ear on a railroad track to listen for a train? Maybe this bird is listening for a mouse. Carved from Montana dendritic soapstone, he has very interesting coloration with the manganese in dendrites and swirls. A splotch of iron, here and there, adds even more interest. The back is polished smooth, and the owl is 4" wide, 1.75" deep, and 2" high.
