Each of these fish is painted on a thin poplar board I cut at the lumber yard where I work. Even I want a break from snakes now and then.

The Original Devil Head Snake
This piece was one of the first things I made and it is still one of my favorites. The wood is Maple, the ears, teeth, and moustache are tin. I never see him without thinking of poor Eve.
A Tangle of Snakes
This table is made of a Wild Cherry base, with bottle caps incorporated into the base. The table top is an old piece of pine, and the snake around the top is a Poplar sapling.

Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Just outside Duck, North Carolina, three days into a ride with my son. We were riding a BMW K1200RS. We rode across North Carolina, up and down the Outer Banks and on into Virginia, ate lots of good BBQ and seafood, climbed a Forest Service Fire Tower, and rode all the way home from Kinston in the pouring rain.

This is one of my most recent snakes. The head and tail are made of Laurel cut from the banks of Terrapin Creek in Catawba County.

Whirlygig On A Table
My whirlygigs are made of either Wild Cherry or Dogwood bases and almost always have a Honeysuckle Vine snake twined round and round. The top is made of aluminum that I cut and paint, the red star is of tin. If you light a candle under one of my whirlygigs, the fan starts to turn. Whirlygigs are among my favorite things to make.
