Wild Fire Artistry "Hog Hunt 2010" arrives in Mail

Chip I got it. Thank you. Thought I would share it again.

Back in 2010 my brother and I were hunting different stands and we each connected to these hogs within 10 min of each other. The bows were made by my brother Pete, he is on the right.

Chip was very generous and I was very lucky that my Bid in the St. Judes 2010 auction won.  The plaque is 14.5x16.5.  The worked area is 11 1/4 x 12 1/2. I told Chip that there was no rush and the piece was entered in a number of shows and art exhibits.

Awards it won:

KC Woodcarvers Show
1st Place- Relief Carving
2nd Place- Best of Show (a pyrography piece had never even placed in Best of Show before)

"Twentieth Century Pyrography" Art Exhibit at Andrews Art Museum
2nd Best of Show

I apologize for the picture quality it is tough getting the lighting right. The piece has 4 different depth levels.

That is just SICK!  I can't believe the detail.  I would love to see that thing in the flesh (I mean wood).  Looks so realistic and it just jumps of the medium.  I'm stunned.  Beautiful work Chip.

Very nice Les ... Chip sure has some talent. What a great way to remember a special hunt.
