Seller: bigdog2421 ✉️ (2,686) 100%, Location: Meeker, Colorado, US, Ships to: WORLDWIDE, Item: 141810008224 Original REDHEAD DUCK Wood Carving. Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Dr. James B. Mense and I hold a BS degree in Fisheries and Wildlife from Iowa State University, an MS in Zoology from the University of Oklahoma, and a PhD in Fisheries and Wildlife from Michigan State University.  It was while studying in Michigan that I began carving with inspiration from Dr. Miles Pirnie, Jim Foote and Larry Hayden, and I won my first award in 1968.  Since then I have earned well over 100 awards, some in each of the last five decades, with six Best of Shows, in regional, national and international competitions including the Ward World Championships.I began carving professionally in 1982 and my carvings can now be found in collections throughout the world.  In 1985 I was Commissioned by Mr. Peter Huizenga to carve a complete set of the ducks of North America, which I finally completed in 2001.  This involved carving a male and female of each of 29 species of waterfowl.  Peter added a room to his home primarily to house this collection.  I am forever in his debt for providing me this opportunity to practice my art. I began selling through participation in Art Festivals, but since 1985 I have sold exclusively through several Galleries.  I recently took a deep breath and decided to try selling my carvings directly through Ebay.  Internet sales continue to increase while brick and mortar retail sales are decreasing.  The Gallery markup on my carvings has continued to increase in the face of this internet competition, but by offering my carvings directly to collectors through Ebay, I can reduce the price by 30%! I hope you will take a look at my other carvings as they become available on Ebay and that you will like what you see.  Every item listed was designed and entirely hand made, painted and signed by me.  Any comments you have would be appreciated and if you have something special in mind, I will accept commissions provided I feel I have adequate knowledge and ability to successfully complete the project.  Thank you for your time! This carving of a competition grade Redhead Drake measures approximately 11" in length with a width of about 5.5".  This bird was carved from Louisiana Tupelo and is patterned from a live I have had in my personal aviary.
