Hand Carved Right Whale | Derek Abbott
Beautiful design and character of this hand-carved right whale by 3rd generation Massachusetts carver Derek Abbott. One attribute that distinguishes a great carving from a good carving is the painting and finishing. Derek has exceptional vision and detail in finishing - from color choice, to aging, to subtle details such sporadic barnacles and capture of the whale's baleen.
True New England craftsmanship is illustrated in Derek's work & and we very excited to showcase his new line of unique whale pieces.
Dimensions: Appx 20" L x 5" H x 2" D
