Pacific
Carvers for the finest
in New Zealand bone and deer antler art
The Dall
Sheep story. . .
The Dall sheep
sculpture began with an extremely large deer button (first image top row).
A Canadian sculptor friend provided a much welcomed 3D clay model to work
from along with the many pictures available. The first attempt was
discarded and the second was cut from the 400 gm (14 oz) button
shown.
In a matter of
days, a form emerged and actual sheep horn was used to make the miniature
rack.
