I can’t remember whether photos of this carving have ever been published. I think I did this piece back in 1997. I still have it as I think it’s a great example of my best work. I love the motion in the piece from the rope in his hand to the movement of the neckerchief. As he is spinning his rope I carved the lower part of the carving so it spins around with him. The rope trick is called “The Wedding Ring”. Believe it or not I could manage that feat years ago but probably not now. Maybe someday I can convince some museum to accept this piece as part of their collection. Until then he will continue to reside in my Gallery.
Comments welcome.
