Today I would like to showcase two of the wonderful creations that Pap has made. He is gifted with the ability to turn wood into art. He works on commission only, creating unique animals for each client.This first picture is of Clyde the Camel. He is a solid wood construction, making him very sturdy and also very heavy. He sits atop a rocking platform, making him a toy that children love. His dimensions are 56-inches long, 36-inches tall, and with a seat height of 24-inches.
We fell in love with Clyde and have kept him in our family for many years. But when we moved after retiring, and down-sized, we no longer have room. So Clyde is up for sale. If interested, leave a comment.
This Chinese dragon is one of my favorites. This was a commissioned piece, for a Chinese family that just had their first grandchild. He was absolutely stunning to behold.

Oh Moogie, I had no idea that Pap was so talented. Clyde is absolutely gorgeous. I can see my new grandbaby sitting on top of him in another year.
I love Clyde! How much are you wanting for him?
Charlotte, I know this will sound crazy high, but this is the price Pap has been getting on his standard animals. ($1,000). The Chinese dragon was ($2,000).
Wow! Pap is very creative!!! Their both impressive but I love that dragon. I'm just wondering how long it took him to creative this wonderful things.
Pam, Pap keeps excellent records. Clyde was 75 hours and the dragon was 120 hours.
