I have had a bunch of inquiries, so for those of you who might be interested in having me do one of these for you:
My prices have gone up quite a bit since I started doing these a few years ago. Even at the current prices I don't make more than 6 or 7 bucks an hour. Even a standard piece where I am just doing one hunter and the animal (no background detail) takes 40 to 60 hours. I have not been keeping track on this piece, but I figure with all this background detail I will be at well over 120 hours.
That being said, I am always willing to take a look at a pic you might be interested in having me do and quoting a price for you. Just email me the pic and I will give you a few options based on carving or no carving, background or no background, and size. Also, keep in mind it will cost more for pics with more people or animals. This does not obligate you to anything. I do require a 50% deposit to get on my "todo" List, but even that is refundable until I start your piece.
I do have a website where you can see most of my work, but I think it would be against the rules for me to post it here. Just pm or email me with any questions.
Hope to have another update posted tonight...Thanks!

I have always had a great respect respect for artistic ability. This is a prime example as to why. Amazing! Being a "wood" guy, it is your choice of medium that I like as well. Just exceptional!
