Description deals If you appreciate wood, its many colors, grains, and textures, then you need this bird carving in your life. Marker says - Bruce Stamp 1976 - Walnut on Manzanita Many people confuse "wood carving" with "wood sculpture". Carving involves using chisels and knives. Bruce Stamp used neither. The process for each and every hand-sculpted piece begins by carefully selecting the lumber; paying special attention to the woodgrain, color, and thickness of each board. Wood is chosen that best accentuates the particular piece to be sculpted. The pattern is made, then transferred to the lumber, and band sawed to a rough likeness of the piece. Six sanding steps bring the piece from crude to a smooth, satiny finish. Coats of lacquer are applied bringing out the luster and color of the woodgrain. The final step is mounting the piece on a polished Manzanita root base. Measurements approximately: 8.5 inches high x 5.5 inches wide.
