 "Windward" is designed after the historic mast heads on wooden sailing ships. Sculpted from red oak harvested from the mountains of eastern Kentucky this woodcarving is exceptional. "Windward is mounted on a piece of century old poplar salvaged from a Bluegrass farm house. By sculpting this piece using the character of the wood grain Brian has added a dynamic visual impact to this work. This carving was a challenge due to the hardness of the wood and the intricacies in the design. Over 90 hours were used to create this one of a kind Kentucky treasure.

More of a sculpture than a carving, Rocky, is sculpted from the root of a Kentucky grown Red Oak. The root was given to me with some soil still attached. Shaped like the letter "C" it didn't look like much. After cleaning it and removing some of the wood, I discovered a stone in the center of the root. Using this stone as a focal point, I began to discover, Rocky. A gnarled knot in the center of the piece became the battered face and head of a prize fighter. Gloved fists upraised in triumph, with a heart of stone, this piece is unique. The grain pattern and color throughout are beautiful. Seeing is believing and everyone that sees Rocky can't help but hear the movie theme song in there mind. This piece is Gonna Fly Now.
