New 3' boards in the works...


I've been working on some boards for clients lately. These are all around 3' , hand glued and shaped. The first 2 are for Lance and are going to be wall hangers. #3 is for a large sculpture and is once again inspired by Mike (Gnar Gnar) Black's Pig project. The 4th will be for a large sculpture also which will be placed in a local dentist office. # 2 & 3 will get glass chopstick fins that I am about to mount today. More pics to follow.

Light as a...


"Light as a feather, stiff as a board"

Here is another kinetic sculpture I just finished. Light as a feather, stiff as a board is another sculpture inspired from my latest trip to Puerto Rico. The base is a paulownia red cedar, mahogany glue up. The board is made from 7 pieces of red oak and mahogany with a maple fin. There is a patina copper hand hammered wave with driftwood behind it.

5 in PR...


"5 in PR"
This is a sculpture I finished the other day inspired by some of the noserides I got @ Maria's while in PR. The base is a piece of paulownia. The hand hammered copper wave has a patina. The board is made from 7 strips of red oak and mahogany with a maple fin. I placed this one on a spring like the dashboard riders. The combination of the surfer on the spring and the flexible wave give this sculpture great kinetic movement.

Mystic 10 Surf Sculpture


"Mystic 10"

This sculpture is made from a cool piece of driftwood I found. I found myself sitting in the studio and dreaming of surfing this wavelike curl. You can't see them in the photos, but I love the stones the wood grew around.
The base is glued up maple and black walnut. The surfboard is red oak and mahogany.
SOLD

Trophies for the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Ca


18" Special Surfboard Trophy, 16" 1st place, 13" 2nd place, 10" 3rd place

I was honored to be asked to make trophies for the City of Rancho Cucamonga's Founders day festival this year. The theme this year is California Dreamin' so naturally Surfboard Trophies are best thing to award the winning floats.
Founders day is Saturday Nov 14.
This is from the Rancho Cucamonga, Ca website ...
The celebration begins with our annual Founders Day Community Parade at the Victoria Gardens Regional Town Center. This year’s California Dreamin’ theme is sure to inspire some great floats and entertainment. After the parade, check out our Street Fair and enjoy tours, craft booths, antique cars, a talent show and hands-on activities for kids. A special Lewis Family Playhouse performance of "The Crayon Court" is also on the Founders Day schedule. The RC Founders Festival...one event you won’t want to miss!
