Portfolio | Sculpture | Eagle Image 1

The Eagle began as an elaborate bookstand to hold a priceless Audubon illustration book of birds of prey. In fact, the piece was completed as a bookstand and was only reworked into a stand-alone sculpture when the patron saw it and decided it needed to be displayed prominently on its own. The Eagle is carved of basswood and stands 5.5 feet tall. A bronze version of The Eagle has also been cast and delivered to the patron as the bookstand.
