Redfish "Trophy" Carving
This is a traditional "trophy" wood carving. Decorative trophy fish carving began in the late 19th century as an alternative to taxidermy and plaster casts. It began generally, as a hand painted silhouette of the fish or half-carving relieved from wood. In recent years, some of the finer antique fish models have gone for many thousands of dollars at auction. More than a century later, these beautiful carvings are considered works of art.

Old Florida & Tailing Reds
For this carving I
wanted to recreate the feel of old Florida, old Key West, Hemingway.
Redfish vary in color greatly, from being a very pale grey, to deep dark
brown, yet still having a hint of red color. I chose the darker phase
of color to coincide with the carved walnut water surface and the deep,
dark coloring of the tramp art done in wenge. The over-sized, old
tailing Red fin was carved from Mexican cedar for its golden color that
is prominent in the reflection of the scales on a Redfish. My
inspiration for the tail that supports the fish was imagining a world
made of wood and is meant to represent an old Red who has had some
repairs done to him over the years, perhaps by Gepetto himself but he is
still tailing along.
