Wooden Whale Carving

We recently took a trip to New England to see the fall colors.  At a restaurant, I saw a wooden, (I think it was drift wood) statue of a whale who was fluking.  Grey Whales migrate up and down the California coast and we were fortunate enough to observe them one time.  I liked the statue, but since it was not for sale, I decided to use some scrap pine wood and make my own statue.

      The original.                                                Mine before staining it.

"Ladies and gentlemen--Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young"




 












CSN&Y are  my favorite group.  So many of their songs take me back to places in time.  Suite Judy Blue Eye is my #1.
