Snowy Owl Sculpture
Here I have sculpted, morticed and tenoned, glued and screwed together from basswood, my latest "Labor of Hercules", Snowy Owl Sculpture, with a hand sculpted oval base of black walnut, the same as used on the tree itself, with sculpted snow drifts at the base also. Hundreds of hours of construction and research getting the markings correct, some orderly, other disorderly as in real life. Approximately 20 inches tall.

Working alone, I state working alone because nearly everything that I design and make are works of art made by me alone and signed by me for 20+ years, Ralph produces furnishings and signs rebelling against "mechanical mediocrity" refusing to work within the limitations imposed by machines and produce objets d'art which can only be accomplished with many hours/days/weeks/months of hand tooling.
To summarize, I am an artisan, not merely a furniture maker. Thank you for your interest in my fascination.
