I like the challenge of sculpting birds and animals and copying what God has made and giving them lifelike characteristics. People can see their beauty, their fur, their feathers, the expressions on their faces, the strength of an eagle and the feline beauty of a cat. a friend Leo Gibar, who is a machinist, has made me my own special woodworking tips and tools to enable me to create these lifelike figures. First, I use a chainsaw, then grinder and finally small Dremmels that have these unique custom-made woodworking tips placed in them. Next, I paint, using watered down colors, many times painting color over color building up the colors, until I bring about a realistic work. Finally, I use 3 coats of tongue oil finish, which is the secret of my work. “Creation DVD” of Your Project With the help and experience of my business manager, Larry Kowallis, you can now purchase one of my works of art and receive a FREE DVD showing the entire creation of your custom project from start to finish.
