Hurricane Fran's devastation left me with huge stacks of wood from downed trees. Thinking I would use this wood some how, some way I stacked the huge slabs in my woodwork shop. All fish are sculpted from a solid slab of wood. Poplar or tupelo works the best. Fins are made from spruce. Paint is a combination of acrylics and faux paints. These paints are applied like finger painting. Scales , on some fish, are cut from soda cans. They are shaped, and then applied (push nailed) to the fish. I recycle 25 to 40 soda cans, making 450 to 700 scales per fish. My soda can color palette is constantly changing due to the discontinuing and introduction of can designs.
