The Hairy Trout Buck

[5.9cummins]

I just finished this up for a buddy of mine and member of the forum. He shot this buck a couple years ago.

 

There is 20 hrs in it and I took a photo after every two hours if anyone wants to see the progression.

What a beautiful work of art! Your buddy has an awesome keepsake, of a great buck, AND a talented, good friend! So nice on a number of levels.

 

I could spend 20 years, trying to make something like that. And it wouldn't be half as nice.

 

Great job!

One question... How did it get the name hairy trout buck? I'm Interested

[Rebel Darling]

That looks great, and I think it's an excellent way to commemorate the experience...

 

Is this a hobby, or do you also do the work professionally.

That's amazing. How much would you charge to do one for me? I'd like to get one done as a gift for my dad.

Amazing talent you have there. Seems to me that you could make quite a few dollar with that as a sideline. You could pretty-much ask whatever you wanted for work of that quality.

Its a wood burning - pyrography. Its burned into the piece of wood with an instrument that is somewhat like a soldering iorn.

His name is Josh and he is one of my college roomates. His nickname is trout (his handle on here). I bust his chops about that thing he calls a beard (although Im not one to talk).

 

So I named it the Hairy Trout (Now you can get your mind out of the gutter )

Hobby really. Ive done a couple pieces for money but not a lot.

Ive thought about charging for them but it wouldnt be cheep. Im not sure I could do that any cheeper than $400.

Outstanding !! excellent  work indeed.  Is there a reason why you left out the bow, from the original photo??

Not really. Just decided not to. Kinda wished I had put it in after I had finished it.
