Queensbury Tree Frog - 2007

This root was delivered from the Queen Charlotte Islands by O'briens Log Sort.  It was barged to Vancouver and delivered (at no charge) by Stella Jones Log Sort.  Thank you!  

250 carvers - grades K-7

 

BRAINSTORMING:
Each class examined projections of the raw root and
sketched dozens of ideas on top of the image.

3 ideas were developed and distributed.
A student vote selected the frog design.

 The project began with heavy rain and cold.

"Safety straps" keep chisels from landing on heads,
but chunks of wood are still a hazard.

 

Carving takes plenty of concentration...
