I call this piece "The
Canadian Express." It measures 26 inches wide, by 44 inches
high.
The moose has 10 different pieces of wood glued
together. the legs are made from two sets of double barrel
shotguns barrels the ears, the bell, and the antlers are all
made from a set of real moose antlers. The RCMP Officer is made from a block of cedar and the legs of
him are made from some old couch legs, the hat rim is from a
bottom of a cake pan.
The bear is carrying two fish and it's made out of two pieces
of cedar.
The Eagle, the squirrel, the crow, and the fox are all carved
from a block of cedar.
The Beavers tail is made with a silver spoon.
"HANDS ON: ALIENS IN THE ATTIC. Wacky, fun, iconoclastic--these are the hallmarks of a folk artist, and P.E.I. Native Kerras Jeffery has them in spades". NATIONAL POST Jan/2011
This blog changed from a daily blog to a blog to celebrate the folk art of Kerras Jeffery, as well as his reproduction furniture and other projects. His studio & shop closed in 2017 following his passing.
