Latest Carving - Gouden Hand

A couple of months ago a woman reached out to me looking for a unique gift for her husbands upcoming 50th birthday. He came to the US from Belgium and wanted something that was truly meaningful. She asked if I would carve a sculpture of his hand in a certain pose, with three small birds that represented her and their two daughters. And add a symbol of Belgium.

It was an honor to take on this request and be able to make art for a very special milestone in life. The only thing was, I’ve never done any type of anatomical carving before. This was going to be a new challenge.

After about a month of carving, using various reference photos of his hand and a sycamore limb from our neighbors fallen tree, I’m more than pleased with the outcome of the Gouden Hand (Golden Hand). This experience opened my eyes to a whole new subject matter.

The hand is carved Sycamore, the birds and base are walnut. Please check out my website to see more of this and my other carvings.
