Mark & I belong to a kayak fishing club called Northwest kayak Anglers. (NWKA) We kayak and fish competitions all over Washington & Oregon. One of the highlights of the year is called "The Oregon Rockfish Classic" (ORC). For the last couple of years Mark has donated carvings for the 1st, 2nd & 3rd prizes. This year I was asked to do the honor of providing the trophies. These next three projects is what I came up with.
"Spawning Salmon" This was my very first full project. Wood burning on a fir wedge. Hand cut & sanded smooth. Finished with polyurethane, front & back. I wasn't going to sell this because it was my first and it turned out so good. But Mark posted it on NWKA when he suggested that I do the trophies and it had such a huge response that I decided to donate it as 1st prize.
"ORC Cabezon on Rocks" Pyrography. I did this one specifically for ORC. I think it was one of my best pyros! The Cabby literally jumps off the wood! Hand cut & sanded, Birch wood. Finished with polyurethane spray. (The space at the top, between the ORC & plant was left open for a plaque)
"ORC Cabby Plaque" Pyrography. I had actually started a nice light cedar wedge with a Lingcod chasing some rockfish, but I caught a nasty sinus/ear infection and didn't get it finished in time. (I didn't even get to go to ORC!) So I donated this one instead. It is hand cut, sanded, burned & painted on a dark cedar plank.
