While working on the village I was also working on a dolphin family. Here it is almost finished. I just have to cut out a base and think of a name for it.

Great job. I use to carve a lot of dolphins, but it's been awhile. Nice work.

what a wonderful composition, so great idea to make the waves stylized to bring the feeling of life and joy. thanks for sharing, i become fan of your work :-)

Beautiful piece. What kind of wood did you use?

[dmatias]

The dolphins are butternut and the wave is basswood. The wave was the hardest part and the most work. But, I think it was worth it.

That's a very nice carving.. I can see why that wave action would be a lot of trouble and time..Thank's for showin it..Charlotte

That is beautiful. I had to go back for a second look. I thought at first it was one piece with a different stain. What are the dimensions

[dmatias]

Hi Robert;

The height of the dolphins, without the base right now is21" to the top of the Mom's nose and it's 12" across from one baby to the other.

I am glad you like it, my little guy (13) says that the Mom dolphin is me, the two babies are my two sons and the wave is my husband holding us all together, which I thought was kind of profound for a 13 year old.

Agree, 'great job' what wood did you use it's lovely.
