110 lb Beaver

We seem to be attracted to the big, the massive, the overly stuffed and the fuzzy. Giant Panda bears illustrate this well i think. I decided to find out just how BIG beavers get. I wanted to sculpt a big one, but I thought it would have much more story value if you could say, "Beavers really get that big." My subsequent research provided me with a 110lb beaver from Wisconsin, USA. Shortly thereafter I began work on my beaver......... This is the first rough draft of my current untitled work on a giant beaver. It is leaning heavily against an aspen branch that has been recently gnawed off, and has a look of satisfaction after a long days work. The piece may become the base for a ski rack, mail box or another coat rack.....
