Corporate Collection
This is among the most impressive and ambitious of Dave's fully realistic carvings. Redtail Hawk and Ruffed Grouse is a sculpture truly greater than the sum of its parts, each of which has been expertly detailed with inserted wood "feathers". The young hawk seems to embody agility and determination as it persues the grouse, which struggles to stay just out of reach. The woosh of their pounding wings stirs autumn leaves on the basswood and mahogany base, completing this dramatic scene of survival in the wild.
