Foxes made from Fishing Buoys

     I've made sheep, geese, cows and pigs from these old out of the old cedar fishing buoys.  Now, I've worked in a fox too.  The body of the fox is made from an old fishing buoy.  They measure about 8" long x 4" high. 
    I'm very happy with the way they turned out.  These are for sale.
Here's some other Foxes I've made over the years.

Wine Rack from Hat Case

     Last Wednesday I picked up this hat case/box.   I came up with the idea of making it into a wine rack.  
     You could also use it for a magazine rack rolling up the magazines. 

A Heronry (or Rookery) of Great Blue Herons

  These great blue herons are always a good seller for me.  The legs are made of steel rebar and the bodies of carved wood.

Moby Dick!

    I've made these Moby Dick pieces before and decided to make more.  The whale's tale is made from a tuna hook and the rest is carved wood.
