Fish Carvings
All fish are carved with hand and power
tools. Each scale is etched and individually painted. Acrylic paints
are hand and air brushed on the sculptures. Rodger pursues
anatomical accuracy. Aquatic life corresponds with the fishes
habitat. Rocks and corals are hand carved and painted. Natural and
carved driftwood, hand tied flies, carved aquatic creatures, and
sculpted vegetation decorate the walnut base.

Catch and Release

outdoors as a fly-fishing guide and a photographer with wood carving.
Where possible, he catches fish and photographs them and releases them

each species carved. Every sculpture reflects quality workmanship and
beauty.

Duck Carvings
The waterfowl are carved with hand and power tools. The feather
details are carved and hand painted to produce a high degree of
realism. Paralleling the fish, all duck carvings pursue anatomical
accuracy and life-like poses. Ducks are studied in their natural
habitat through photography and observation, combined with printed
reference material on the various species. The waterfowl carvings
reflect quality workmanship through fine detail and lifelike
appearance.
